7/11/14 - Local kids described as âbudding naturalistsâ or ânature nutsâ that otherwise might not be able to experience summer camp are again being given an opportunity to do so. Full scholarships are being made available to children with a general interest in nature who are entering 3rd, 4th or 5th grade to attend a residential camp at the Howell Conference & Nature Center. Called the âSpirit of Alexandria Nature Campâ, itâs being funded by a foundation created to carry on the legacy of a young Milford girl named Alexandria Bennett. Kids will enjoy traditional camp activities but also get to experience special nature-focused activities designed exclusively for the camp such as field sketching and pond studies. There are still scholarship spots open and any interested kids will need to write a small essay and fill out an application. Details are available through the link below. (JM)
