Holiday Nature Camps!
A Nature Adventure for the Holidays and School Breaks.
Making memories one school break at the time!
Give your child a taste of our outdoor summer adventure during school holidays and academic breaks! Our bilingual (English/Spanish), full-day drop-off program (9 AM – 3 PM) is 100% outdoors and led by experienced biologists, educators, and naturalists with a low 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
What Children (Ages 3+) Will Experience:
Daily Hikes & Field Science: Explore local habitats, discover wildlife, and participate in community citizen science projects.
Bilingual Learning & Crafts: Build Spanish skills naturally through nature-inspired art, woodworking, and stories under the trees.
Movement & Play: Enjoy nature yoga, water games, Lego play, and unstructured discovery.
Life Skills & Growth: Build confidence, empathy, and environmental stewardship while forging lasting friendships.

Registration & Refund Policy
Holiday Nature Camp Fees are due at least one week prior to the start of the Session. Prior registration is required but there is NO Registration Fee for Holiday Nature Camp. NO refunds or make-up days available.
Because this is a small-scale program ran by biologist and independent educators, capacity is very limited. A waitlist is available but child must be pre-registered, so that in the event of a cancellation, your child can join immediately.
Location
Meeting locations vary, please contact us to find out the location for the Holiday you’re interested in.
