As we look forward to summer (our third since the pandemic began) we look forward with confidence. We’ve learned that we can run camps that meet our high expectations for nature immersive fun – safely. We’ve heard how transformative these experiences are from parents (and kids).
This summer will include many of the same safety protocols of the last two years and we will of course continue to adjust our plans in accordance with state and local guidelines. You can read our current policies here.
Should you have additional questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
