OUR 2023 SUMMER CAMPS WILL GO PUBLIC SATURDAY MARCH 4TH, 10AM!
PLEASE NOTE REGISTRATION CHANGES BELOW
Camp Description
All of our summer camps happen in the parks we are in regularly throughout the year. Children will be offered plenty of time to explore, dig into imaginary play and connect with their peers. There will be nature-based games, stories and activities that inspire connection to place related to the park location. There is a high adult to child ratio of 1:6 with a maximum of 12 children. Our educators are highly experienced in offering outdoor education to early learners and have a genuine passion for the work.
