The Monarch Journey

Thank You, Summer Camp Helpers!

We made such wonderful memories this summer with Camp I Love Me! To read all about our adventures, check out the two stories below:

Summer Camp Adventures (Pt. 1)

Summer Camp Adventures (Pt. 2)
MCC would also like to thank all the educators, naturalists, volunteers, and partners who helped make our 2026 Summer Camp education series a big success! We had help this year from partners at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Missouri Master Naturalists, Columbia Audubon Society, Columbia Parks and Recreation, Boone County Stormwater, Missouri Department of Agriculture, Missouri Department of Conservation Stream Teams, Rock Bridge Memorial State Park, City of Columbia Office of Sustainability, and our very own MCC staff and board members. Without your help, we could not have pulled this off! Thank you!!

Support MCC this fall!

MCC aspires to continue offering hands-on conservation opportunities and educational programming with as few barriers as possible, but we can't do it without the support of our community. Local fundraising and financial donations allows us to bring people and nature closer together, and we hope you'll show us your support during our upcoming fundraisers.
