Evergreen Summer Camp invites children into active, outdoor days filled with exploration, movement, and connection. Each week follows a familiar Evergreen rhythm while offering new activities, games, challenges, and adventures shaped by the group, the environment, and the season.
Camp days include daily hikes, nature exploration, outdoor games, group activities, and time for social connection and free play. Guided by caring educators, children build confidence, resilience, and cooperation as they engage with the natural world in meaningful and joyful ways.
Whether children join for one session or return for multiple weeks, each week feels fresh and engaging while maintaining a consistent, supportive structure that helps children feel comfortable and excited to return.
