Middle School Nature Camp
(completed 6th-8th grade)
July 22-23
9am-4pm

Nature Camp is a trauma-informed, sensory-based experience designed to help children connect with nature, themselves, and others in a safe and supportive environment. Campers engage in hands-on activities such as caring for animals, exploring walking trails, participating in scavenger hunts, and navigating a collaborative low ropes course that emphasizes teamwork, communication, and trust.

All activities are choice-driven and guided with a trauma-informed approach, fostering emotional regulation, confidence, problem-solving, and healthy peer connections. Through shared challenges and nature-based play, campers experience growth, joy, and a sense of belonging.

Camp is for middle school students (6-8th grade).

Registration is $15 and includes camp t-shirt, all snacks and meals, and lots of fun!
