Summer Camps
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 1, 2026 CCCB HOSTS SUMMER CAMPS The Cherokee County Conservation Board (CCCB) is hosting several different camps in June and July this summer. It is preferred that students complete the grades listed behind each camp. River Ramblers is our biggest summer adventure because it's an overnight camp offered July 14-16 and is for those that have completed 6th-8th grades. Participants will spend a day doing team-building activities and practicing their paddling skills in a lake before spending a day kayaking the Little Sioux River. Participants will meet new friends, hike the trails, and tent camp near the Martins Access cabins. This event is a partnership with Plymouth County and has a $75 fee to cover food. Kayaking and tenting materials will be provided. Day Camps for 1st-3rd graders include Geocaching, Intro to Fishing, and Sandbar Stroll. At Geocaching Camp, we'll use a GPS unit go on a treasure hunt! Intro to Fishing will be for beginners. We'll focus on casting, identifying fish, then catching fish. At Sandbar Stroll we're partnering with the Sanford Museum to help us find sandbar goodies like awesome rocks, bones, and artifacts. Location will be determined by water levels as camp gets closer. Day Camps for those completing 4th grade and up include Intro to Kayaking, Geocaching, Sandbar Stroll. Archery will include learning how to use a bow as well as practicing grouping of arrows. It will be geared towards those new to the hobby. Intro to Kayaking will include learning safety skills at Spring Lake Park. Geocaching includes using a GPS unit to find treasures! We're bringing back Jr. Naturalist Camp! From 9am-11am June 16-18 we'll meet at Spring Lake Park for stories, games, and crafts. This camp is geared towards 3-5 yr olds with a guardian. Fees for these camps are $10/family, with the exception of River Ramblers, which has a $75 fee/participant. For example, if you have multiple children in one camp or spread between two, it's a total of $10. If you have a child in River Ramblers and another in any other camp, the cost would be $85. Payment must be received one week after the camp participant is registered or their space is forfeited. The CCCB will accept cash, check, or credit card. Funds support the Steve Nelson Memorial Scholarship. Contact Laura at the CCCB if the fee is keeping you from registering a camp participant. Each camp will include a snack, has limited space, and requires advanced registration. Please register participants only if they plan on attending. REGISTER HERE!
