My
students and I have really enjoyed working with BEEC during
the past several years to bolster both our environmental science
and outdoor leadership programs. Bonnyvale’s educators
do a great job to tailor their programs to my students. Reed Duncan, Dean of Students

About Our Camps
At Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center it is our goal to foster children’s love of nature in a safe, supportive environment. Campers spend most of each day outdoors, in small groups, exploring our 100 acres of forest, meadow and pond on the land of a former farm. Non-competitive games, music, stories, art projects and a cooling ride down our gentle water slide at the end of the day add to the BEEC camp experience. Children return year after year, excited to visit such special spots as Grandmother Tree and Frog Pond. They also return knowing that there is much FUN to be had! Campers investigate the lives’ of their wild neighbors, learn naturalist skills, explore wildlife habitats, develop their sensory awareness skills, venture off-trail, and discover a sense of magic and wonder in the Great Outdoors!
