FINDING A HOME FOR ECOLOGY CAMP

With the exception of the camp of 2007 when the camp went through a major revamp and the YMCA was kind enough to let us use Camp Onyasha on Chautauqua Lake with very short notice, Ecology Camp has been held at Camp Timbercrest since 1986. 

Yes, we have been at Timbercrest for more than 30 years now!
