Welcome to the Erie MetroParks Online Reservation System

Exciting MetroParks 2010 Nature Camp programming emphasizes campers enjoying the outdoors! Camp is a great opportunity to make new friends and to be in a natural setting. Campers will experience and explore the great outdoors in a variety of the MetroParks. Of course, we'll seek shelter if the weather doesn't cooperate. Please have all campers wear outdoor play clothes, hats, sport shoes—no sandals allowed. Also, send sunscreen and insect repellent or apply them to your child before drop-off. All campers need to bring a water bottle with them. Those attending 9 am to 3 pm also need to bring a packed lunch and beverage. Parents/authorized adults are responsible for bringing and picking up their Camper to the camp location each day. Campers may be dropped off 15 minutes before camp begins; please be prompt in picking up your child when camp is over.
