Take a quiet walk with Mother Nature. It will nurture your mind, body, and soul.
— Anthony Douglas Williams

What is it?

This is a closed, four-day camp for children to grow in their connection with the outdoors. Children will be given a safe, non-judgmental space to express their creativity and explore their relationship with nature. Children will have the chance to grow in their connection with their peers. Children will gain skills and strategies to help them cope when experiencing big emotions. Children will practice self-acceptance as a group in order to increase self-esteem. This camp will aim to help children use nature as a tool to build curiosity, connection, and confidence.

Who is it for?

This camp is specifically designed for:

  1. Children in 4th and 5th grade (ages 9-11)

  2. Children who enjoy the outdoors

  3. Children who have difficulty knowing how to sit with big emotions

  4. Children who struggle with perfectionism

WHEN IS IT?

The camp will take place the week of March 11th. There are two options that you can select from on the registration form:

Option 1: 4-day camp (Monday, March 11 - Thursday, March 14 from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM)

Option 2: 2-day camp (Tuesday, March 12 - Wednesday, March 13 from 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM)

Final dates/times will be determined based on majority preference of registered participants. You will be notified of final dates/times prior to your intake session.

Participants in the camp will meet at our East Austin Office each morning.

What is the investment?

The cost to participate is $300 for the camp, with a $25 supply fee for each participant. Payment will be processed automatically within 24 hours of the first day of camp.
