Northrop Camp is dedicated to the belief that teaching children to respect and appreciate all life, both the natural world around them and each other, produces adults who care about the environment and who succeed in the careers they choose. Northrop Camp is an ecologically diverse wilderness area set aside by the Nature Conservancy to preserve rare plants and animals. In addition about 6 mowed acres of the 300 acre property have, from the beginning, been set aside as a camp to provide inner city children an intimate encounter with the natural world. Campers can enter another world of infinite diversity which they previously couldn't even imagine.
