A major part of our programs is that they happen outdoors, in nature. We not only see the importance of connecting with nature, we also see the outdoors as a fantastic backdrop for exploration, creative imaginations, free play, risk-taking, and fun. We encourage our staff to learn more about the plants and animals around us – for their own knowledge and the campers’.
