Nature Camps, Classes & Programs

For ages 1-adult

Environmental Education combats “Nature Deficit Disorder” and it’s FUN! By exposing children to nature and allowing them to learn and play outside, environmental education fosters sensitivity, appreciation, and respect for the environment.

Peck Farm Park, the Geneva Park District’s environmental education facility, offers nature classes and programs for all ages. Come explore with us, and cultivate a life-long connection to the amazing world around you.
