MOH Camp's Natural Classroom offers a teacher-directed exploration of wetland, coniferous forest, field, lake, and pond biomes in support of NGSS life and earth science study. The variety of ecosystems available at Mother of Hope Camp's 126-acres facility enables students to have authentic exploratory experiences not available in a traditional classroom setting!
Groups are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in MOH's lunch pavilion or on a blanket on one of MOH Camp's fields or schedule lunch delivery from a nearby restaurant.
