Camp Description
Give your children the opportunity to experience the glory of St. Edward State Park throughout the changing seasons.
Break Camps are full of field games, friends, crafts, hiking, and nature exploration. During the cooler months, the children also warm their hands around a daily fire and have tea time to keep everyone warm. On warmer days the children will splash in spring puddles, roll down grassy hills and relax lakeside.
​
Each break camp is unique in its own way as the forest changes throughout the year, from the leaf piles in fall to the rushing streams in winter to the emerging greenery of spring.
This camp is a 100% outdoors nature immersion program designed to nurture in children a sense of belonging in the natural world and to each other. Come adventure with us!
