Little Creek Summer Camp (LCSC) is about more than fun in the sun, camp games, and singing songs. LCSC provides current third through fifth graders from the Ferguson-Florissant School District the opportunity to develop important life skills, explore a passion for the environment, and avoid summer learning loss by participating in experiential programs focused on STEM and literacy skills.<\/p>\n

Little Creek Summer Camp is a free camp offered for three weeks every summer at Little Creek Nature Area, a 97-acre outdoor oasis and learning lab, owned and operated by the Ferguson-Florissant School District. Campers can choose to attend as many camp weeks as they want. Children are transported by school bus to and from camp and a hot lunch is provided by the school district as well. This year\u2019s camps ran from July 15-Aug. 2, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

Campers learned and developed outdoor skills such as archery, birding with binoculars, campfire cooking, fishing, canoeing, macro invertebrate, animal studies, and nature hikes. Mapping, nature journaling, and plant identification studies helped to build literacy skills. Games and group activities helped campers build valuable social skills and round out each week of fun, challenging outdoor experiences.<\/p>\n

LCSC is made possible through a partnership between the Ferguson-Florissant School District, Audubon Center at Riverlands, Gateway Arch National Park, US Fish & Wildlife Center, and US Army Corps of Engineers. Other supporting funders included the Stupp Foundation, Emerson, Ferguson Twilight Run, and other private donors.
