Wild Things

For  youth entering Kindergarten and 1st grade

Updated 10/5/23 - Per the Santa Clara County Office of Education and the California Department of Public Health, all participants of Walden West Outdoor School and Summer Programs are recommended to be vaccinated for COVID-19. 


As of September 22, 2023 here are the updated recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

Wild Things is an entry level program for young campers which provides a higher ratio of staff and counselors per camper. It is designed to improve socialization skills and independence with a primary focus on providing a safe and fun experience while fostering a love for the outdoors.


Each morning, campers can explore our pond, creek, low ropes course, or hike to Sanborn County Park where our experienced staff lead games and organize hands-on exploration time out in the redwoods. In the afternoons, campers enjoy various choice activities such as crafts, gardening, hiking, nature lab and making an original, practical art project. Campers also have fun during swim time (weather permitting).


This program is being "rebooted" and re-imagined for 2024. All information subject to change. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and excitement!

Summer 2025 dates will be posted later this year.
