Aquatic Adventure
This hands-on class focuses on the components of a lake ecosystem. Participants will discuss the hydrologic cycle and examine different aspects of our lake's water. We will also collect samples of aquatic life ranging from plants to fish, then observe and identify them. This class can be designed to combine with school curriculum.

Gone Fishin'
In this activity session, students can learn basic fishing techniques or simply see what they can catch. Some basic instruction will be given to all groups, then good spots are pointed out and everyone goes fishing! We practice catch and release at Camp Lincoln, so sorry there will be no trophies to take back to school!

Discovery Hike
On this adventure, students take to the trails around Camp Lincoln to explore the natural world around them. Observation games are played, different aspects of the environment are discussed, and the group identifies various ecosystems they find along the way. This is a great activity for groups to discuss some of the science lessons they have already discussed in school.
Various Environmental Lessons
Depending on the focus of the group and what is being covered in the classroom, Camp Lincoln's Facilitators can lead hikes to cover Nutrient Cycles, the process of Photosynthesis, discovery of why and how trees loose their leaves, investigate the vast Water Ecosystem or a simple lesson on the animals that live in the area and how they all live together while handling the impacts of humans.
Winter -
SnowshoeingCamp Lincoln looks a lot different covered in snow! What better way to explore than on a pair of snowshoes. Participants will learn the basics of travel on snowshoes while enjoying the pristine, winter landscape of Camp Lincoln.
Tracking
During the cold winter months, Camp Lincoln is transformed into a new world. Snow blankets the forest floor, ice captures the lake, and animals leave detailed records of their journeys/tracks. Participants can focus on identifying tracks in the fresh snow while snowshoeing around our wintry camp.
