Our camp programs are designed to immerse children in nature and foster their connection to the natural world. Under the guidance of trained Nature Mentors, students will participate in a variety of outdoor projects and play activities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and exploration.
Please note: All camp prices are effective May 2020 due to necessary changes to adhere to CDC health and safety guidelines.
