SUMMARY:Nature Play Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT: June 8-12 for ages 6-8 | June 15-19 for ages 8-11 \nLet’s go where curiosity leads! Land Trust of North Alabama‘s Nature Play Camp seeks to hone children’s innate curiosity in nature and allow them the freedom to explore. Topics for this week-long day camp at Monte Sano Nature Preserve will include water critters\, fossils\, being nature detectives\, map reading\, animal adaptations\, tracks\, scat\, the magic of trees\, and more! Along with our exploration\, we’ll include puzzles\, crafts\, games\, and lots of splashing in Fagan Creek. \n  \nCamp Details\nCamp Dates and Times: \n**Please note\, hours have changed for 2026.** \n\nJune 9-13 for ages 6-8. Drop off is at 9:00AM\, and pick up is at 3:00PM\nJune 16-20 for ages 8-11. Drop off is at 9:00AM\, and pick up is at 3:00PM\n\nCost: $300 for members\, $375 for non-members \nLocation: Monte Sano Nature Preserve \n\nWeek #1 (Ages 6-8) – Drop-off & Pick-up at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Bankhead Trailhead) – 2442 Bankhead Pkwy NE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801\nWeek #2 (Ages 8-11) – Drop-off at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Bankhead Trailhead) – 2442 Bankhead Pkwy NE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801 / Pick-up at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Cleermont Trailhead) – 506 Cleermont Dr SE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801\n\nAge Groups: Parents of 8-year-olds can choose which group is best for their child\, but a child can only attend one week of camp. Activities will be adapted appropriately for each age group. The second week will include hiking longer distances. \nThe Daily Routine: As we said above\, Land Trust of North Alabama’s Nature Play Camp is designed to allow our campers the opportunity and freedom to spend time exploring nature\, playing with others\, and just being a kid in the woods. There is a structure – group hikes\, lunch\, quiet time\, and a few group activities – but much of the time will be spent with a variety of options. Last year’s campers spent the week building forts\, exploring the creek\, collecting nature treasures for the display table\, and reading or drawing quietly in the shade. Our staff of four adults and two teen volunteers will lead and supervise some activities\, of course\, but a good part of the day will involve choice. It’s a week of being a kid! \nA Few Other Details: \n\nMembers at the Trailblazer (Family) Level and above receive a $75 discount. Check your email for the code. Not a member? Join today!\nThe registration deadline is June 1\, though late registrations may be allowed with prior notice.\nEach camp will host a maximum of 20 campers.\nWe hope to have a limited number of scholarships available. Please contact Angie McCollum for more information.\nQuestions? Contact Angie McCollum\, Education Coordinator\, at angie@landtrustnal.org\n\nThis event is sponsored by Vulcan Materials Company.

Drop off is at 9:00AM\, and pick up is at 3:00PM\n\nCost: $300 for members\, $375 for non-members \nLocation: Monte Sano Nature Preserve \n\nWeek #1 (Ages 6-8) – Drop-off & Pick-up at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Bankhead Trailhead) – 2442 Bankhead Pkwy NE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801\nWeek #2 (Ages 8-11) – Drop-off at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Bankhead Trailhead) – 2442 Bankhead Pkwy NE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801 / Pick-up at Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Cleermont Trailhead) – 506 Cleermont Dr SE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801\n\nAge Groups: Parents of 8-year-olds can choose which group is best for their child\, but a child can only attend one week of camp. Activities will be adapted appropriately for each age group. The second week will include hiking longer distances. \nThe Daily Routine: As we said above\, Land Trust of North Alabama’s Nature Play Camp is designed to allow our campers the opportunity and freedom to spend time exploring nature\, playing with others\, and just being a kid in the woods. There is a structure – group hikes\, lunch\, quiet time\, and a few group activities – but much of the time will be spent with a variety of options. Last year’s campers spent the week building forts\, exploring the creek\, collecting nature treasures for the display table\, and reading or drawing quietly in the shade. Our staff of four adults and two teen volunteers will lead and supervise some activities\, of course\, but a good part of the day will involve choice. It’s a week of being a kid! \nA Few Other Details: \n\nMembers at the Trailblazer (Family) Level and above receive a $75 discount. Check your email for the code. Not a member? Join today!\nThe registration deadline is June 1\, though late registrations may be allowed with prior notice.\nEach camp will host a maximum of 20 campers.\nWe hope to have a limited number of scholarships available. Please contact Angie McCollum for more information.\nQuestions? Contact Angie McCollum\, Education Coordinator\, at angie@landtrustnal.org\n\nThis event is sponsored by Vulcan Materials Company.

SUMMARY:30th Annual Thanksgiving Day Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Thanksgiving Day tradition! Get ready for your Thanksgiving feast by starting the morning off with a Monte Sano hike led by Land Trust volunteers and staff. \nThis year is a bit different because our hike starts at the Three Caves Trailhead due to the Bankhead Trailhead being closed for construction of the Tollgate Greenway.  We’re also giving hikers two choices: \nThe shorter option\, led by David Young\, starts at the Three Caves Trailhead and heads east on the Waterline Trail. When hikers get to the Young-Kennedy Trail\, they will head north on Young-Kennedy to the Wagon Trail.  Heading north on the Wagon Trail\, hikers will continue on to the Alms House Trail.  They will then take the Alms House Trail back to the trailhead. (2.05 miles / moderately difficult) \nThe longer option\, led by Bruce Martin\, starts at the Three Caves Trailhead and heads north on the Alms House Trail.  Once hikers reach the Sink Hole Trail\, they will take it north to meet the Wildflower Trail.  They will head east on the Wildflower Trail\, taking it to the Wagon Trail.  They will take Wagon Trail south to meet the Young-Kennedy Trail.  Taking the Young-Kennedy trail south\, hikers will continue to the Waterline Trail\, which they will take west\, using it to return to the trailhead.  (3.25 miles / moderately difficult with a climb) \nTrailhead: Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Three Caves Trailhead) – 901 Kennamer Dr SE\, Huntsville\, AL 35801 \nSign up for the shorter hike \nSign up for the longer hike \nIn the event this hike has to be canceled due to weather or trail conditions\, we will send a notification to the email address you use to register. \n
