Children entering grades 1st and 2nd in Fall 2026

Remember the magic of summer camp—the forest hikes that felt like grand adventures, the silly stories around crackling campfires, the zany songs that got stuck in your head, and the wet-and-wild water games that left everyone laughing? This camp brings all those timeless traditions to life for a new generation of young campers.

Perfect for first-time adventurers, this program introduces kids to the joy of the outdoors through classic camp activities in a shorter session format. Each day is filled with hands-on discoveries that build confidence, spark curiosity, and encourage teamwork, nature exploration, camp crafts, games and water play. We will even have a campfire and make our own snacks.  Campers will explore nature in fun, age-appropriate ways while making memories and friendships that last long after summer ends.

It’s the perfect way to start a lifelong love of the outdoors—and to capture a little of that old-fashioned summer camp magic.
