Conservation Day Camp 2020
After a months of uncertainty and waiting, we finally got the green light to host our 5th Annual Conservation Day Camp! Our registrations were rushed, and our plans had to drastically change... but we made it happen and it was complete success! Over 80 Preble County students attended our day camp at the Preble County Historical Society in Eaton, OH from June 23-25. While rain showers were predicted for the entire week, the sun decided it would stay for all three days! We couldn't have picked a better week. Over the course of camp, students participated in a wide range of activities:
We would also like to say thank you to our wonderful sponsors, who support our efforts in conservation and environmental education in our community: Henny Penny Employee Foundation, Butler Rural Electric Co-Cop, Wildcat Sports and Graphics, and the Preble County Historical Society.

Conservation Day Camp 2020 Update
Let's talk about Conservation Day Camp!
On May 14th, Governor DeWine announced that day camps will be able to take place after March 31st. Some very exciting news after months of the unknown!!! The guidelines should be announced sometime today, so we will be listening closely.
We plan on having some sort of camp this year, but there is a possibility that it will not be able to happen. Things change so rapidly lately. No definite plans have been made and the date of camp is not nailed down, as we are unsure of what guidelines will be in place this summer. But, we promise to let you know as soon as it is all figured out!
If you have a child or children who are interested in participating, please call the office or email Kate at katesills@prebleswcd.org with your name and number. We will call everyone when everything has been decided. Thank you for your patience through all of this and we look forward to hearing from you!
