Summer 2021 Registration is for Day Camps & Overnight Camps
Our summer nature camps are filling faster than ever. You can see from the following graph (2021 is blue, 2020 is orange) that we are almost three-quarters full and it is only mid-March! Many of our camps are already waitlist only. Fortunately, we have a LOT of camps so it is not too late to sign-up for the most fun ever, on epic outdoor adventures with friends and mentors.
Only one spot left in Big Bear Village overnight!
Year-round immersive experiences for ages 6-17
Nature Camps
The perfect blend of adventure play, fantasy, and outdoor skills. Nature camps help kids build self-confidence, develop strong social skills, learn to assess risk, cultivate a passion for learning and discovery, grow their leadership skills, and become resilient to life’s challenges. Plus, campers develop a lifelong connection to the natural world. We offer five-day camps during the summer and one-day camps during the school-year. Nature camps have themes based on child passions (like School of Wizardry & Minecrafters) and based on student skill interests (like Fish Finders & Leathercrafters).
9-month programs for middle/high school age
Registration Opens:
FOREST students form profound connections with peers, inspiring mentors, and the earth that begin a lifetime of outdoor learning. These students are dedicated to personal growth and work with some of our most veteran staff to deepen their nature and survival skills as well as nurture their leadership abilities. FOREST mentors know and value each student for who they are and grow capable, confident leaders who work to expand their skills and push their personal comfort edges. These abilities and experiences will be a strong foundation for growth in all aspects of life.
Term-length school-year programs for ages 3-12
