Summer Camp Registration Opens January 1st!

Experience the wonders of our unique outdoor education programs.

Sign up for weeklong adventures from 9-3, with extended care between 8-5, all summer long: 

* June 24-28 * July 8-12 * July 15-19 * July 22-26 * July 29-August 2 * August 5-9 * August 12-16 * August 19-23 * 

Ages 5-11. Camps will meet Monday through Friday, rain or shine. We will spend all day outside exploring, discovering, and creating through art and science during each summer camp week. Our typical day begins with a half mile hike across a sheep pasture, over Little Beaver Creek (with a beaver dam on one side and crayfish on the other), through a douglas fir forest, and into a native oak savanna. There, oak trees and a large canvas tent can provide respite from the weather, if needed.

Throughout every camp, we will be practicing mindful appreciation of nature and tuning into what we can observe around us. Experienced educators will guide kids in investigating their curiosities and interests as we build a number of outdoor, social, and emotional skills.

“This is my favorite camp ever, and I usually hate camps!”

“When my mom signed me up for this camp, I didn’t want to go, but now I love it!”

Please let us know if there are any additional nature-based programs you are interested in seeing, for kids and/or grown ups. We love to hear from our community!

“Tree Folk was a great experience for my kids! They came home happy, tired, and full of stories. The camp is situated on a beautiful piece of land, and they have a great setup with an outdoor classroom that had enough shade when it got hot.”

“What a great camp! Our girls had a blast and learned a lot. It’s the perfect balance of independent, confidence building outdoor exploration and guided activities by great instructors. We only did one week this summer, but look forward to more next year!”
