Are you looking for something fun and exciting for your child to do over Summer Break? Would you like them to be spending more time outdoors? Would you like to see them make new friends and connections? Perhaps engage in team-building, confidence boosting, and intentional play opportunities?

This program is designed to provide children with enriching outdoor play and exploration experiences over Summer Break. We will focus on bringing a sense of wonder and fun to their time away from school. Every day we will explore our curiosities as we adventure on our incredible piece of paradise. From bushcraft and survival skills, to animals, to messy play, to fort building, to arts and crafts, to tree and plant connection, to dramatic play, our time together will be all about imagination, building, exploration, and fun! As this is a multi-age program, there is also a great opportunity for leadership, accountability, mentorship, and building trust.

Our programs will be subject to change depending on wildfire activity. Since you are billed AFTER each session, this will not affect your family financially.

At Wild Things Forest, we know summer can be full of shifting schedules, spontaneous plans, and changing needs. That’s why our Summer Forest Programming is drop-in style—a flexible, family-centered approach to outdoor learning and play.

Instead of committing to an entire week like traditional camps, you can choose what works best for your family:

  • Sign up for a single day

  • Choose a few scattered days throughout the summer

  • Or book a full week if that’s your vibe!

You can pay $80 per session or save $10/day with a punch pass—your choice.
