A key part of the success of Pickering Creek’s annual EcoCamp is its Junior Naturalists (JNs). JNs, who are middle and high school students, form a consistent backbone to Pickering Creek’s summer EcoCamp. Summer camp counselors lead summer camp groups and are often college students. They come and go annually. JNs return every year to ensure that EcoCamp’s spirit, the favorite songs, games, activities and traditions are enjoyed by new campers every summer. In addition to providing invaluable service to the camp every summer, JNs get to spend time with the Center’s naturalists throughout the year, learning more about nature, science and public speaking.

Hundreds of brave — and slightly chilly — souls are expected to gather at the Tred Avon Yacht Club on Saturday, February 7, 2026, for the fourth annual Oxford Plunge into the Tred Avon River, a mid-winter tradition that proves this small town has a very big heart. Participants of all ages will dash, dip, or dive into the icy waters in support of the Oxford Volunteer Fire Department and EMS (OVFD), which relies on donations to help fund life-saving equipment, training, and emergency services. Spectators are encouraged to line the waterfront, cheer on their favorite plungers, and enjoy the festive atmosphere complete with drinks, Doc’s Sunset Grille’s crab soup, and plenty of photo-worthy moments.
