The KPNC Adventure Camp brings students on a four-day, three-night adventure to the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment’s own Solon Dixon Center in Andalusia, where campers will experience some of the incredible natural and historic wonders that Alabama has to offer. This incredible, 5000-acre outdoor classroom, nestled in the Conecuh National Forest, has a world of amazing natural wonders for our campers to explore. All meals and lodging are included in the registration fee.
We’ll explore south Alabama, venture on hikes through coastal plain and native longleaf ecosystems, go canoeing on a blackwater river, and visit the Turtle Point Science Center for hands-on interaction with some amazing furry and scaly friends. This trip is filled with fun and educational activities including hunting for shark’s teeth, star gazing on an exclusive night hike, and watching thousands of bats emerge at dusk for their night-time soiree!
Campers will learn about nature, history, wildlife, industry, geology, archaeology, astronomy, and more! In addition, campers will have the opportunity to swim, hike, climb, and explore!
