Camp Bernheim

Bernheim is the perfect place for your child to have a summer full of adventure!

Sign up your children for a week of outdoor adventure, exploration, and fun. Campers will participate in kayaking, creek walking, nature crafts, free play, outdoor investigations, and much more. We’ll learn about the plants and animals that call Kentucky home while discovering everything Bernheim has to offer.

REGISTRATION FOR 2023 CAMP BERNHEIM NOW OPEN!

Camp Details

Campers will participate in experiences that build confidence and connection to the natural world, such as fishing, kayaking, creek walks, hiking, scavenger hunts, and fort-building. Groups will enjoy various Kentucky habitats while learning about the many flora and fauna that call this state home. There will be time to get creative with many nature-based art projects, crafts, and discussions. Campers will leave each week with new friends, lifelong memories, and a deeper connection with the natural spaces around us.

Camp will run for 7 one-week sessions from June 5 through July 28 (with no camp the week of July 3).

Registration per camper, age 6-12, is $238.50 for Bernheim members and $265 for non-members, tax* included. 

In 2023, all campers are limited to 2 weeks of participation as it is difficult to keep campers engaged for a third or fourth week of the same camp activities.

*A new KY sales tax law instated on January 1, 2023 requires a 6% sales tax on services.
