INTO THE HEART OF NATURE

Tara Redwood School offers a great summer camp.

Into the Heart of Nature camp is located in an extraordinary setting nestled in the Nisene Marks Forest near a calm creek. We offer cooperative games, creek exploration, habitat studies, playful skits, and nature-themed art. Kids explore the various elements that support all life. Tara Redwood School’s summer camp educators are highly experienced in outdoor activities and wildlife studies. Children learn social skills and kindness. Your child will make new friends, develop mindfulness, and learn how to help others. Children have access to several hiking trails for daily play and to absorb some of our core tenets for happiness through developing a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of nature to all parts of life. For children 4 to 7 years old.
