Summer Camp 2024
Embark on a journey with us at Wild Roots Summer Camp for your 3 to 9 year olds, where adventure meets education in the heart of our beautiful mountains! Our camp is designed to provide your child with an unforgettable summer experience, fostering a deep connection with nature while having a blast in a safe and supportive environment. Your child will have plenty of opportunities for hands-on exploration, new discoveries, and fun lessons that will encourage environmental awareness, teamwork, and a lifelong love for the outdoors.
Camp registration is full and we are no longer accepting wait-list applications.
Each day, our Wild Roots campers will have an opportunity for group activities, wild outdoor games, and engaging lessons about our weekly themes. We’ll explore the surrounding meadows on our daily hikes, play hide and seek in the sage bushes, and observe aquatic life in our neighborhood frog pond. Our campers will enjoy unstructured exploration in our natural playground, daily picnics, arts and crafts, and plenty of fun, informative adventures.
