Summer Nature Camps
Epic adventures. Real skills. Deep belonging.
Where kids don’t just play outside — they learn to thrive there.
Led by our nature school’s same three teachers all summer long, in small groups of just 8-12 campers, each session blends storytelling, skill-building, and real hands-on adventure.
Each week’s immersive theme gives kids playful and meaningful challenges — and real reasons to build real skills.

Love and belonging are the roots that grow kind, confident kids.
Our students play outside for hours every day in every weather. They splash in puddles, feed chickens, pet goats, dig rivers in our giant sandbox, and harvest garden plants for lunch.

Each month’s theme supports early literacy and math as well as life skills and curiosity about the world.
