Our camps for children ages 3–7 are lovingly led by Waldorf-trained teachers. Children will be guided through a peaceful daily rhythm that includes outdoor circle time, arts, crafts, story time and splashy water play. Imaginations will bloom as they explore, create, and discover in the beauty of nature. Please send your child with a water bottle, snack, and lunch, along with outdoor clothing, a sunhat, and a change of clothes for any joyful messes along the way.
