We offer year-round programs that focus on skill building in nature for kids of ALL abilities. 

We welcome kids ages 4-22 to our programs that are looking to meet new friends and practice skills in a supportive environment using the backdrop of nature.

​​​​​

Camp/program activities include developmentally appropriate nature-based activities targeted at fine motor, gross motor, social, and self-regulation skill development in a supportive environment provided by a licensed occupational therapist.

​

Our groups are inclusive for ALL kids and young adults wanting to meet new friends and explore nature, but are geared towards providing a fun and functional atmosphere for kids with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorders, Down Syndrome, ADHD, sensory processing differences, motor skill delays, emotional regulation challenges, and other developmental delays.

​

Our group time is structured but also provides plenty of opportunities for child-led and open-ended group play in nature.

Our programs include the following activities:

​

-Fine motor activities

-Sensory-motor activities

-Social engagement/group problem solving

-Self-Regulation and coping skills practice

-Snack preparation

-Nature exploration and FUN!

​

Each program is limited to around 10 kids to provide a supportive experience.

​

Note: Our programs generally provide a ratio 1:3 adult support. If your child requires 1:1 support for participation and/or safety, we ask that you send a parent or PCA with to provide individual support for that child.
