VILDA SUMMER CAMP for Ages 4½-6½

Ages 4½-6½ / Fairfax, San Rafael & NOVATO

Nature Adventure

Look for frogs, hidden treasures and animal tracks as we make our way through the landscape playing games and singing.  This half-day camp is for the younger crew and focuses on experiencing the magic of nature in a hands-on, fun way.  Timeless exploration, storytelling and free play balanced by creative nature-based activities and games. Group participation skills are invisibly woven into the day. 

Each one of our sites provides something fun and different. When in the Fairfax woods we focus a tad more on tracking and plants, at China Camp we get some safe beach and water playtime. 

This camp is appropriate for first-time as well as experienced campers ages 4½ - 6½ .

In addition to our core curriculum, this camp may include:

  • Nature awareness practice

  • Basics of staying safe in the wilderness

  • Lost proofing

  • Nature games

  • Animal tracking

  • Bird language

  • Shelter and fort building

  • Learning about wild edibles in a safe way

  • Natural dyes and art projects

  • Hiking hills, creeks, and valleys

  • Creating nature guides

  • and more...
