The Vernal School Environmental Education Partnership, in conjunction with the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association and the Montour Area Recreation Commission, will be holding a series of nature-focused day camp opportunities for younger children at the Montour Preserve during the summer months.

Called Habitat Helpers, this program is for potty-trained kids ages 3 to those entering kindergarten this coming fall and focuses on learning about different habitats and the creatures that call them home. It will include a hands-on project families can take home to improve habitat in their backyards and communities.

Program days will be themed for three different habitats to begin — woodland, aquatic and grasslands. Students will learn about each of those specialized areas and the nature that calls them home.

Program days run 8-11:30 a.m. with the following days and themes available:

• June 10: Woodland
• June 13: Aquatic
• June 14: Grassland
• June 17: Grassland (same as June 14 program)
• June 19: Aquatic (same as June 13 program)
• June 28: Woodland (same as June 10 program)
