We offer a residential outdoor school program for 5th and 6th grade classes where students experience the natural world around them through hands on lessons and activities. Check with your school or classroom teacher to find out when your 5th or 6th grader is scheduled to attend.
SUMMER PROGRAMS
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
From our traditional summer day camp to our leadership programs to the little kids of Wild Things, there's summer fun awaiting children of all ages! Activities include archery, swimming, arts & crafts, our climbing wall & challenge course, and more!
The health and safety of all our participants is our priority. Whether your child requires medication or they have a specific dietary requirement, our health staff can assist in preparing them for their time at camp.
Do you love being outdoors? Do you have a passion for working with youth? Do you need community service hours? There are volunteer opportunities offered year-round for high school sophomores and older.
