Kid’s Nature Summer Camps in Charlottesville, VA

Summer camps are a unique opportunity for children to connect with nature in a safe, nurturing environment.

We have been voted a favorite summer day camp for over 10 years! Your child will spend the week exploring the mountains, streams, and wild places of Charlottesville, Virginia. Campers work together in small groups learning about the natural world, plants, mammals, tracking, birds, wilderness survival, awareness, and so much more. We do this with hands-on activities, games, adventures, and fun challenges. Our instructors are Nature Connection Mentors, guiding campers into experiences that nurture their connection to the earth and allow them to feel at home in the natural world.
