Sense-sational Forest Adventure (ages 5-8) is a week for doing what little humans do best: experiencing the world for the rich sensory environment that it is! What does moss smell like? Why is pine sap so sticky? Can you follow a trail with just your nose? Campers may navigate through the forest by touch or smell, taste wild foods, or identify plants and animals based on sight and sound. They will explore nature with their senses, and especially through play!
The Great Forest Challenge (ages 9-14): Building on concepts introduced in Sense-sational Forest Adventure, older campers will co-create games, activities, and adventure courses to challenge their minds and bodies in a fun and engaging way. They might build obstacle courses from natural materials, play familiar games while blindfolded, sniff their way to victory on a scent trail, or even design brand-new games to challenge themselves and each other. They will draw on their strength, imagination, wits, and resilience, but also the most important survival skill of all: working together with other humans toward a common goal. With friends by your side, any obstacle can be overcome!
Camp Intentions:
– Develop physical and mental resilience
– Explore nature in an embodied way
– Discover inner strength
– Finding and expanding on the challenges that natural environments provide us
This is a high energy, medium- to high-focus camp week, for campers who want to push themselves and their edges in individual and group settings (and learn about themselves and nature in the process).
Starting in Summer 2026, we are introducing equitable pricing tiers for all programs. The price listed below is the “Supporter” tier, which covers the actual cost of the program. A discounted “Friend” tier is available when you register, as well as a “Partner” tier that includes a contribution towards another family’s tuition, and a “Vision Keeper” tier that invests in our larger vision. Learn more about our tiered equitable pricing model and other financial aid offerings.
Once a program fills, please join the waitlist. We will do our best to open an additional session based on demand and staff availability.
