"Open-hearted children become open-minded adults."

Schoolhouse of Wonder is a place where children from all walks of life are challenged and nurtured to become their best self.

Guided by Schoolhouse's core values, our team of professionals mentor children ages 3-17 to explore, learn, and grow through three key program areas: Outdoor Camps (summer camps, school break camps, track out camps); Outdoor Field Trips; and, Leadership Training.

Our difference is evident in every interaction.

Our guarantee is simple - we will send your kids home dirty, tired, and happy. Every single day.
