Nature connection is for everyone. That’s why we are committed to making nature camps accessible for as many families as possible. We are proud to offer need-based scholarships for families who would like to attend our programs. Discounts are available for up to half off the program cost.
Day Camps
For kids ages 5-17, these 5-day camps run each week of the summer from 9 am – 3 pm, with aftercare available until 5:30pm. Available at Mount Pisgah Arboretum and Hendricks Park. $447.
Our groups have an average ratio of 6 students per an instructor. We study how to engage students meaningfully, support students with trauma, and appreciate students for who they are. Some of our instructors have been teaching with us for over a decade; others have immense experience in other teaching environments. All have a passion for mentoring students outdoors, and weeks of training annually.
All of our nature camps are based on our teaching philosophy which includes:
- Practicing gratitude
- Tuning our senses to our surroundings in the present moment
- Play as paramount to effective learning
- Respect and stillness in nature
- Community-building and helping each student shine with their gifts
- Skills from our four Learning Pathways
