Summer Day Camps
Since
1995, our summer day camps have offered creative play, exploration and
adventure, as children work together in small groups gaining nature
awareness and experiential knowledge of plants, mammals, tracking, birds
and survival skills. Our highly trained instructors guide students into
experiences that nurture their connection to the earth and allow them
to feel at home in nature.
Fun and adventure are only part of the story. Our 1:5 staff-student ratio allows our instructors at our summer day camps to facilitate the development of tangible and intangible skills like teamwork and communication; thankfulness; awareness; patience; common sense; self confidence; problem-solving; and respect for self, each other and nature.
These skills are woven invisibly into each of our summer day camps through storytelling, active questioning and engaging nature activities. For example, campers might learn patience through the need to get close to wildlife, or teamwork and communication through the need to quickly build a group shelter. Our focus is on helping children to build skills that will serve them for a lifetime.
We look forward to sharing nature adventures with your kids at a park near you this summer!
ParentMap, the award-winning monthly magazine and website, has surveyed its readers on the best businesses and resources for kids and families in the Puget Sound region.
Our camps were voted best in three categories and we were awarded a 2011 Golden Teddy!
