Nature Camps

campcamp2Sheldrake offers vacation camps during the school year as well as summer camp programs in June and late August. Our very popular June Mini Camp sells out year after year.  All Sheldrake classes and camps are taught by trained naturalists, many of whom have backgrounds in early-childhood development. Class sessions will be held outside, rain or shine, so students should dress accordingly. During a typical day, children go on an outdoor discovery walk to explore the 60-acre conservancy property, engage in hands-on ecology lessons, and search for signs of animals. Campers will enjoy a nature-themed story time, do a nature craft, and have a snack.

Sheldrake will offer the following camps in 2021:
