Camp Leopold's mission is to create an ecologically literate citizenry by teaching students about the natural world and honing the skills needed to understand the environment. Camp staff work to instill a love, respect, and admiration for the land in each individual, so that they develop a personal land ethic. This will help ensure that future generations understand the importance of conservation and protecting the environment. 

Camp Leopold provides a unique and engaging outdoor classroom focused on wildlife, wetlands, and uplands ecology. Through the Camp's curriculum, students and teachers can learn the fundamentals of science, reading, and math while having fun and being in nature. By combining academics with engaging activities, Camp Leopold helps students develop a better understanding and appreciation of the environment.

Zip Lining

Reptiles and amphibians are very important to the balance of any ecosystem where they are native. In this class, students are able to learn about the various different types of reptiles and amphibians across South Carolina and the important niches they serve. Students also have the opportunity to handle animal artifacts and meet one of our animal ambassadors!

Their Blood Runs Cold

Wetlands are a crucial habitat for many plants, animals, and people, yet they have historically been misunderstood. In this class, students are introduced to the key elements all wetlands share, discover the different types of Wetlands found in South Carolina, and uncover the key reasons why wetlands provide us with so many benefits. Students will also have the chance to meet one of our animal ambassadors!

Wonderful Wetlands

Animals, plants, and nonliving things all interact in fascinating ways within their ecosystems. Birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and furry mammals are part of life in South Carolina and we will study how these animals interact with the environment around them. Students will also have the chance to feel a variety of animal pelts and meet one of our animal ambassadors!

Creatures of the Woods

There’s a good chance you and your students have seen waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans) around your community, but have you ever wondered what makes this group of birds so unique? In this class, students will work together to discover the mysteries of waterfowl and their unique adaptations for survival. From November-January, students will also have the chance to meet one of our waterfowl ambassadors!

I can't even begin to express my gratitude for the wonderful time we had at Camp Leopold. The staff is kind, informed, and professional. I firmly advise against it.
Spend a day or a few nights camping! I'm forward to visit once more. A job well done goes to the South Carolina Waterfowl Association. I decided to join this organization because of all the wonderful things I seen there!
