Mini Nature Camps are half-day camps for young elementary-age children filled with fun and adventure. Create crafts, play games, make new friends and explore the trails and habitats of the park. Campers need to bring a snack, bottle of water, and small backpack each day. Suitable for ages 6 -9 years. Advanced registration required; call 503/629-6350.  $86 for one week of half-day camp.

Whether looking through microscopes, hand lenses, binoculars or a spotting scope, seek out the various animals that make this park home. We will spend time searching the park for creatures great and small to see how many we can add to our week's wildlife list, while learning about the adaptations that they have to help them survive this hilltop habitat.

Venue: 
Errol Heights Natural Area
Venue Details: 
Errol Heights Natural Area consists of a steep-walled canyon formed by extensive natural springs from the Portland aquifer. The springs are the headwaters to Errol Heights Creek, a tributary of Johnson Creek. Errol Heights Creek contributes a steady flow of cold water to the Johnson Creek system, which is especially important during the drier, hotter summer months. The area in the canyon was developed in the early 1950s as a trout farming operation, with three ponds created by a series of dams. The native riparian forest was disturbed and invasive species such as English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and clematis became well established.
