Integrating Your Outdoor Center With the Natural World: Nature/Site/Facility

Integrating Your Outdoor Center With the Natural World: Nature/Site/Facility makesa compelling case that if camps are to fully embrace environmental stewardship,they need to revise how they think about development and recognize their outdoorcenters as holistic systems of site, facilities, and programs. The DVD points out thatmany camps have both natural and developed areas and often mistakenly designtheir outdoor areas and programs to use these areas separately. The DVD explainswhy even though camps and outdoor centers are often perceived as having a “site”and “facilities,” a disconnect should not exist between the two.

Among the topics covered:

• The history of camps
• Observations from the field
• Camp layouts
• Opportunities
• How can you get involved?
• Take action
