🌄 Give Your Child a Summer They’ll Never Forget

John Muir believed that every child should “climb the mountains and get their good tidings.” Our camp brings that spirit to life.

Each day, campers explore the hills of Mount Wanda, create art inspired by the natural world, learn from National Park Service Rangers, and discover the wonder that shaped one of America’s greatest conservationists.

This is not just a camp — it’s a week of curiosity, confidence, and connection with nature.
