School's Out Camp

Outdoor Fun, Year-Round!

Every day is a new adventure! We foster child-driven creative free play in a supportive, “challenge by choice” environment that’s 100% outdoors.  Many families use our School’s Out Days as a way to “test the waters,” but please keep in mind that registration for Spring Break and Summer Camp fills quickly!
