Touch Of Nature Camp 1
Private
Outdoor education center operated by Southern Illinois University on 3,400 acres along Little Grassy Lake near Makanda, offering residential summer camps. Programs include Camp Little Giant, a pioneering residential camp serving people with disabilities since 1952, and Camp BETA, a free overnight camp for youth ages 10-16 with Type 1 diabetes, alongside general and partner camps. This appears to be a duplicate listing of the SIU Touch of Nature center.

★★★★★Cody TeagueI graduated through there program when I was a teenager. It was a good experience I have great memories. Taught me a thing or two.
★★★★★Josiah BiverThis was a great spot! Went for a music festival last week and it was a great location
★★★★★Robert LemondI remember making memories at this camp when I was a kid
★★★★★Shannon KnightDaughter just spent a week at this camp. The camp was clean. All camp staff knew her name and were friendly to her as well as me. They all seemed to enjoy being there and had smiles. Daughter seemed to have fun and talked about a range of activities that she did while there. Would recommend the camp area and will probably be back next summer.
★★★★★BookGreat place for kids to go to a camp! 10,000 times better than where I went as a kid!
