2025 Summer Camp Registration is LIVE! *
We’re excited to offer a NEW and redesigned day camp program for kids ages 5-13 in 2025. We are seeking to include additional wilderness skills and environmental education. This program is designed to be active, outdoorsy, and engaging. Your child will be exposed to the natural world, experience new things, and improve old skills. They will have social interaction and active activities. Similar to our school programs, this program will focus on the natural resources and attributes of the Pinecrest area.
Four one-week camp sessions will be offered in 2025. These sessions are designed to be taken either as stand-alone or in combination.
These sessions are staffed by our professionals who are equipped to provide your child with a safe and memorable experience. These sessions work well if you enroll in both or pick just one if that suits your schedule. Camps are subject to enrollment numbers, state and local restrictions, and fire danger. Children must be able to use the restroom independently and be physically capable of participating all day. If you have questions please email: heidi@pinecrestexpedition.org. We look forward to seeing you this summer.
Camp sessions will involve exploration. Going to various locations in our area for field trip days. These locations will be selected based on availability and weather/water conditions. Our home base is our school campus on Old Strawberry Rd. This facility serves us well during the school year and is a perfect home base for camp. A supply list will be sent to you before your first day, however, plan to send your child a plentiful and nutritious lunch, sunscreen, large water bottle (refills available), closed-toe shoes, a hat, and a pack.
We strongly believe in free play, which has numerous benefits for child development. Your child will be given ample opportunity for free play and structured activities.
