RiverCamp
Take a Deep Dive into the River this Summer!
French Broad RiverCamp (FBRC) seeks to educate and empower the next generation of watershed stewards. FBRC provides a week of river and watershed exploration for rising 3rd-8th grade students. Guided by RiverLink staff, campers will engage in hands-on environmental education, river recreation, and service-learning projects. By the end of the week campers will have a newfound appreciation and love for their watershed.
We want our camp to be available for everyone, so we offer a limited number of scholarships for campers each year. These scholarships will take 90% off the price of a session. To qualify your child must be part of the free and reduced lunch program, or you must be able to prove financial need. Please check back later for the scholarship application.We do roughly the same activities at each week of camp, so we recommend only signing up for one session. Aftercare is available until 5:30 each day, it’s free of charge for any campers that need it. Make sure to check out the 2020 Parent Packet for more information.
