adventure day camps:Each day campers will explore all that the Peninsula has to offer - beaches, forests, tidepools, and more - while building outdoor skills, teamwork, and nature awareness through real-world experiences with their peers.
Through engaging and exciting activities like rock climbing, paddling, swimming, and searching for adventure, campers stay active and curious in a fun, non-competitive environment. Through these experiences, campers connect with one another and the landscapes around them, developing an understanding of the interconnectedness of nature. Activities may also include yoga, music, and group games, creating a well-rounded experience that supports confidence, curiosity, and the growth of future environmental stewards. This year, we’re offering Adventure Day Camps in a few different ways - including select Terra Teen-led weeks, as well as additional weeks available for individual or group sign-ups, with locations that may be tailored to the group to provide added flexibility. |
