Summer Camps

Green Gables Summer Camps are a sought-after camp for children 3 ½ - 10 years old.  The Green Gables landscape comes ALIVE in the summer, and becomes a green, wild land full of life, insects, birds and budding fruiting trees.  Green Gables is the home of a beautiful garden scape with veggies, herbs, fruit trees and more.  Children are invited to learn and participate in garden activities, farm animal care, and good old summer fun. Green Gables has a gentle creek flowing through the property, large mature conifer trees, ash trees and gorgeous nooks where fairies appear, caterpillars roam, and butterflies are seen flitting and floating about.

Summer camps are a unique mixture of free summer play and integrated outdoor learning.  Green Gables offers children the ability to be drawn into their interest while feeling the freedom of play and participation.  Childhood learning is one that exists in their developing bodies, and formative inner spirit.  Rachel and Nathan have the unique gifts of guiding play to facilitate learning while children are in exploration and imagination.  They both act as educator, facilitator, tour guide and nurturing presence. By blending these different roles, children are able to play freely with their peers, and be strategically guided to witness, experience and explore wild imagination and natural phenomena. While nature is a primary emphasis, Rachel brings art and craft in weaving flowers crowns, creating nature art or planting seeds, while simultaneously, Nathan facilitates building projects, structure creation, and other adobe, cob and natural building experiences.  Both educators are experienced gardeners, naturalists and artisan builders.  Children are woven into projects and activities that brighten their minds, sooth their spirits and awaken their wonder.

Summer Camps FILL UP QUICKLY and often have a wait list by early March.  All Summer Camp enrollment begins in February unless otherwise noted. Don’t hesitate to get signed up for lifelong learning and memories at our Green Gables Summer Camp.
