Wild Child Summer Camp is all about letting our children be children.
We will have a general flow and rhythm to our days,
centered around letting your child have lots of free play time.
Wild Child Summer Camp is designed with the Spirit of Childhood at Heart.
We hold an environment that welcomes creative expression, curious exploration, and imaginative play.
In our over-scheduled, over-stimulating culture of too much and too fast, we offer a respite of presence & play.
Our days are designed with your child's Wild Spirit in mind.
What will we do?
Play and fall into deep presence with this beautiful mountain environment
Engage in interactive games together
Build and improve forts on the mountain
Learn about wildflowers, edible plants, and local wild healing herbs
Toss rocks in the pond
Swing on wild forest swings!
Use the bark of aspen trees as sunblock
Balance on logs as balance beams
Use our bodies to build strength and coordination
Breathe fresh mountain air in our lungs
Smile and laugh uncontrollably
Catch horned lizards
Be wild and free
Walk barefoot on the Earth
Why?
Because every child deserves time to be wild & free
Because we all need more time to connect to the Earth
Because kids need time to be kids
Because we are social creatures
Because play is the highest and most effective way to learn
Because we want the best for our children
Because when we're out in nature, there are no walls to bounce off of
Because Nature is the best medicine
