Camps

Every Schoolhouse camp provides a unique environment of kindness, respect, and learning. Our outdoor day camps have different themes each season, but they are all inspired by our underlying values. Our award-winning camps offer a low camper to staff ratio that allows a sense of freedom while providing a safe and nurturing environment.

Field Trips

Our Field Trips allow students to develop their sense of wonder through active learning in the outdoors. Each Field Trip is a day-long experience designed to offer elementary and middle school teachers and students hands on experiences that build interest and exciting reference points to the curriculum being taught in the classroom. Schoolhouse of Wonder instructors use stories, sensory experiences, and investigative techniques to facilitate learning adventures in science, social studies, math, music, folklore, and more.
