wild Wanderers
Get ready for a summer of muddy boots, big discoveries, and joyful learning in the wild! Wild Wanderers Summer Camp is a nature-immersive adventure designed for children aged 4–6 years, running Monday through Thursday from June 16th to August 14th. Each week offers a fresh rhythm of wonder, creativity, and hands-on exploration in one of our beloved outdoor classrooms: Lake Calavera, Buena Vista Park.
While exact times may vary by location, every session is grounded in connection—to place, to self, and to the community of curious learners who gather to explore.
Over six themed weeks, our Wild Wanderers will dive into nature’s wonders through hands-on exploration and creative adventures. From foraging edible plants and crafting woodland art to learning basic survival skills and investigating local wildlife, each camp week invites children to connect deeply with the outdoors. Days are thoughtfully balanced with time for movement, rest, and storytelling inspired by the natural world.
Each day invites joyful learning—through storytelling, nature-inspired construction, team challenges, and quiet reflection. Rooted in experiential education, this camp nurtures self-confidence, critical thinking, and a deep sense of stewardship for the earth.
