Discovering the cool freshwater creek is so exciting! This shady creek is the perfect place to build sandcastles and catch minnows, salamanders, and frogs! We will also learn about the local plants and animals, make nature art, sing songs, read stories, and play lots of fun games.
​
We are so excited to welcome more friends in our 3-4 age range! While the two younger camps serve the same age group and follow the same weekly themes, they are run separately, with their own rosters and staff. Because of this, we’re unable to accommodate sibling or friend requests across camps.
​
Each week will have a different theme.
​
Week 1: Birds
Week 2: Bugs
Week 3: Reptile and Amphibian
Week 4: Weather
Week 5: Trees
Week 6: Mammals
Week 7: Oceans
Week 8: Rocks

Enrollment requirements:
-
Children must be proficient with toileting. They know when they need to go to the bathroom and can communicate that.
-
Because we learn in an outdoor classroom without walls, children must be able to stay with the group and follow instructions most of the time.

*Children must turn three by February 1st, 2026.​​​

Throughout the week, campers will also learn age-appropriate survival skills such as shelter building, nature awareness, teamwork, and problem-solving in the outdoors.
