Press Release from The Rockfall Foundation

The Rockfall Foundation recently awarded a grant to the Incarnation Center/Bushy Hill Nature Center to provide need-based, full and partial tuition assistance camperships to youths aged 4 to 15 who attend the Bushy Hill Day Camp, an environmental education summer camp in Deep River.

On a recent visit, Rockfall Foundation staff toured the camp's vast natural settings, which span over 700 acres of forests, wetlands, and a mile-long lake. The camp offers a variety of activities designed to foster a deep appreciation for nature, such as hiking, tracking, swimming, plant identification, team-building activities, and exploring the natural environment.

The Rockfall grant award highlights the foundation's dedication to making environmental education accessible to all children in the region, especially those who might not otherwise have such opportunities.
