Kindergarten Kamp provides students 3 hours of guided outdoor play and exploration. We meet once a week during the school year, extending the school day to include screen-free creative play, nature-based discovery, relationship skills and community-building.
Join us in Bradford Woods or in North Park. Our certified staff facilitate songs, hikes, crafts, and games, while allowing for student-led inquiry and encounters with our environment. Morning Kindergarten students flourish outdoors after a morning in the classroom. And afternoon Kindergarten students are grounded after spending a morning in the fresh air interacting with the natural world. Pack a lunch for your youngster and give yourself the gift of time while giving them the gift of growth!

While we love spending time with your kiddos, we do not offer after-camp care! We are also parents to school age children, and want to be home with them soon after they’re off the bus. For that reason, there is a late pick-up fee of $1 per minute per child.
