EASTERN SHORE, VA – Three of the Eastern Shore’s leading conservation and youth organizations are teaming up to offer a unique summer experience for local children. The Eastern Shore Soil & Water Conservation District, the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge, and Northampton County 4-H have announced the “Adventures in Nature” Summer Day Camp.
The two-day camp will be held on June 24th and 25th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge, located at 32205 Seaside Road in Cape Charles.
