Osprey Wilds Summer Camp (Off-Site)

Osprey Wilds is a fully accredited Residential Environmental Learning Center established in 1968. They are located on Grindstone Lake in Sandstone, Minnesota, about 90 miles north of the Twin Cities. Their diverse, 780-acre sanctuary, includes a variety of habitats, including old growth red and white pines, hardwood forests, restored wetlands and prairies. While we have several traditional classrooms, our emphasis is on getting outdoors for maximum learning opportunities. You can learn more here: https://ospreywilds.org/aboutus/
