Throughout the summer we invite campers ages 4-6 and 7-11 to join us for weeks filled with adventure, exploration, and discovery. Camps are held Monday through Friday, 9 am to noon. * Children will engage in thoughtfully planned, supervised outdoor learning activities. On Fridays, campers will enjoy “Friday Fun Day” at the beach! Space is limited per session to 15 campers for ages 4-6 and 16 campers for ages 7-11. Each child receives a Ridges Adventure Pack that they will use throughout the week and take home at the end.

On two days each week, students hike through diverse ecosystems, learn how to record their observations and questions about the changing nature around them, engage in hands-on investigations with their peers, and make personal connections with the natural world. One of the unique features of Forest School is the depth of engagement available when meeting outside multiple times each week in fall, winter, and spring. Children are able to make deep, personal connections to nature that inspire life-long learning about stewardship of the natural world. Teachers plan a year-long scope and sequence of experiences that align with their objectives. Objectives are aligned with North American Association for Environmental Education, Wisconsin Standards for Environmental Literacy and Sustainability.
