The Effie Yeaw Nature Center is dedicated to providing educational and interpretive programs and information about the natural environment, principally in the American River Parkway. The center hosts nature winter camps for students during school winter break. Each camp focuses on the natural world and includes lessons and crafts or other activities, and a hike. They encourage kids to dress appropriately for the weather (usually layers and a jacket) and to wear clothes that can get a bit dirty.
