About Little Creek Summer Camp

Little Creek Summer Camp (LCSC) is about more than fun in the sun, camp games, and singing songs.  LCSC provides CURRENT third through fifth graders from the Ferguson-Florissant School District the opportunity to develop important life skills, explore a passion for the environment, and avoid summer learning loss by participating in experiential programs focused on STEM and literacy skills.

Little Creek Summer Camp is offered for three weeks at Little Creek Nature Area, a 97-acre outdoor oasis and learning lab, owned and operated by the Ferguson-Florissant School District.

Campers learn and develop outdoor skills such as archery, birding with binoculars, campfire cooking, fishing, canoeing, stream exploration, animal studies, and nature hikes. While activities such as nature journaling build literacy skills, games and teamwork activities help campers build valuable social skills and round out each week of fun outdoor experiences!
