Camp ROOTS cultivates a love of learning through immersive, nature-based experiences that encourage children to care for themselves, their community, and the environment.

 

This summer, our camp will bring this mission to life for children ages 5-12 with hands-on adventures focused on environmental stewardship, essential life skills, and joyful exploration. Each week’s theme—from honoring Indigenous culture to understanding Earth’s natural cycles—will guide all activities, allowing for meaningful enrichment and connection to the natural world.

 

With a strong focus on child-directed learning, we encourage campers to join in each activity while respecting each child’s individual needs. If a camper needs some decompression time or a moment to rest, we’ll follow their lead, creating a supportive and nurturing environment. Our low teacher-to-student ratios ensure that every child experiences growth and discovery at their own pace.

 

This is an outdoor camp where campers will fully engage with nature, with flexibility to go indoors when needed. To get the most out of the experience, we encourage signing up for all six weeks, but families may register for any individual weeks as well.
