Discovery and friendship in the heart of nature

Kids connect with the outdoors in a safe, inclusive environment. Small groups mean lots of attention, and hands-on activities foster curiosity and confidence. Campers learn about wildlife while having fun. Make friends, respect nature, and create lifelong memories. Campers spend most of the day outdoors, so pack appropriate gear. Staff are certified and trained.
