7 Ways We Can Help Protect Our Earth
At Camp Kupugani, our summer camp with girls-only, boys-only, and blended sessions–located near Chicago and Madison Wisconsin, we’re nestled on 125 acres of nature’s finest, including forest, a river, and a lake. As such, we’re reminded daily of the beauty that nature offers, and the importance of preserving that beauty for current generations and those beyond. We take pride in helping our campers understand and learn what they can do to help protect our earth.
In our mission (core value) and programming, we foster respect for Mother Nature, so we can be good stewards of our planet. A recent article shares our philosophy; below is our take on some of its ideas on how we can help protect our earth, with the full article here.
