At Ozark Natural Science Center, learning about nature isn’t just educational - it’s an adventure! Our programs take campers beyond the classroom and into the wild, where they’ll make friends, hike scenic trails, explore the wonders of biology, ecology, and geology, and uncover the secrets of the natural world.
Whether trekking through the forest, spotting wildlife on a night hike, or working together in team challenges, every moment is filled with discovery and excitement. With engaging activities like interactive experiments, thrilling outdoor games, nature art, and small-group explorations, our campers experience nature in a way they’ll never forget!
Our main campus is located between Huntsville and Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where we host overnight camps. We also host day camps at our Lake Fayetteville campus!
