Join us for a magical summer experience where children connect deeply with the natural world through the wisdom of the four elements. Each week, our Waldorf-inspired camp invites young explorers to immerse themselves in the unique qualities of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, beneath the pines.

Earth Week: Children will dig in garden soil, craft with clay, build woodland forts, and discover the steadfast gifts of the earth beneath our feet.

Water Week: We'll splash in streams, create watercolor paintings, follow the rain cycle, and feel the flowing, life-giving properties of water.

Air Week: Participants will fly handmade kites, listen to wind songs in the trees, create breath-powered instruments, and experience the invisible wonder surrounding us.

Fire Week: Through sun prints, storytelling around our campfire circle, baking bread, and exploring light and shadow, children will safely encounter the transformative warmth of fire.

Throughout each elemental week, children will engage in meaningful handwork, artistic expression, outdoor exploration, and rhythmic activities that nurture the whole child—head, heart, and hands.
