Wanting your child to get more outdoor time when they are not in school? Children will play in the forest and splash in the ocean all while strengthening their critical thinking, curiosity and imaginations. These place based programs invite the children to create a relationship with a specific place. We maximize nature connection time with exploratory wanders, new skills and unifying games. Our staff gives children the opportunity to climb, crawl, sneak, run, and get dirty while their smiles and confidence grow.
Please consider making a donation to help send another child to camp this summer.
