Summer 2026 · Ages 5-11
Nature-Based STEM Summer Camp.
Join us for an immersive outdoor summer camp where children trade screens for soil. Guided by educators and nature, your child will engage in hands-on STEM, experience the (shaded) outdoors, and make core memories while building lasting friendships.
Cultivate Curiosity & Resilient Kids
Our camp balances unstructured nature play with guided STEM explorations. Every day is a new adventure aligned with California environmental literacy principles.
Hands-On Science
From soil chemistry and composting to observing pollinators and identifying native plants, science comes alive in the field.
Social & Emotional Growth
Collaborative farm chores and team-based problem solving help campers develop empathy, communication, and resilience.
Nature Arts & Crafts
Creating natural dyes, building bug hotels, and crafting with sustainable materials harvested right from the land.
Mindfulness & Rest
Dedicated time for quiet observation, journaling under the trees, and learning how to connect deeply with the natural world.
