Volunteer Spotlight

A special shout out to an awesome volunteer, Remington Minor.

Remington attended Fledgling Summer Camps when she was just four years old and then continued learning and exploring at the Ogden Nature Center during Wild Wednesdays and attending more summer camps as she grew up. She has been a camp counselor and an active volunteer.

“I love seeing the kids succeed and learn new things, just like I did when I was that age. The art activities are always fun. I used to love the overnight camps. I hope those come back after Covid,” said Remington.
