Nature-based Summer Wonder Camps
Our Wonder Camp programs are designed to spark curiosity, inspire creativity, and foster a deep connection to the world around us. Through immersive, hands-on activities, campers engage in unique learning opportunities that encourage them to challenge themselves while mixing joy, play, and education seamlessly.
Register your child now for our Summer Wonder Camp sessions. Choose between Camp Only attendance or our extended Camp plus After Camp Care with a later pickup time. Both options include our full Wonder Camp itinerary, running from 8:30-3:30pm. However, our Camp plus After Camp Care gives parents a bigger pickup window after the program ends (between 4:00 – 5:15pm), while kids enjoy an additional snack time and some unstructured play time.
Our Summer Wonder Camp registration includes two weeks of activities. Please note, single-week Summer Wonder Camp sessions are not available, EXCEPT for Summer Wonder Camp Session 5.
Camp Enrollment Disclaimer: Due to popular demand for our Summer camps, campers turning 6 years old prior to August 31, 2026 will also be eligible to join. All campers must be fully potty trained. Please review our bathroom policy for further details. (Last updated February 7, 2025)
