About the program

This outdoor camp brings together nature, art, and hands-on activities in a small-group setting. Led by environmental educator and artist Tony Valderrama, kids spend plenty of time outside learning about local wildlife and ecosystems, trying survival skills inspired by Indigenous traditions, and creating art from natural materials. The program also helps kids build teamwork, confidence, and practical skills, so it feels a little more structured and purposeful than regular outdoor play.

Camp runs from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and is offered in two sessions: July 13-17 and August 10-14. The cost is $450 per week or $100 per day.
