Day camps our camp programs are offered on-site during the summer and school vacations. With a strong emphasis on education through hands on interaction (nature play), we provide science based nature education while spending time in the outdoors. Ecosystems are studied, plant and wildlife are made familiar and children are given the opportunity to become comfortable and safe while in the outdoors. Programming offers developmentally appropriate opportunities for children to learn about the natural environment and their role in supporting and sustaining it.

Connecting communities and nature in wisdom and wonder.
