Outdoor U ‘at home’ camps are designed for kids to do at home this summer. All materials are available for free on the website and grownups can register their campers for a fee which then includes daily virtual interaction with camp staff and more! Recommended for rising 3rd-6th grade students (younger kids are welcome, but may require additional help from adults at home).

Nature Art camp will help campers learn about the basics of art and how they apply to nature. Campers will gain an appreciation for the colors, shapes, patterns, and textures of nature while thinking creatively about items from nature near their home.

All camps aim to help campers view nature in their own neighborhood in a new way while cultivating respect, observations, and wonder about the natural world. The camp materials and activities are age-appropriate activities developed by Outdoor U education staff to encourage safe exploration of camper’s immediate environment.

Each camp day is centered around a topic that connects to the camp theme and will include a variety of hands on activities such as outdoor exploration, journaling, arts and crafts, online materials, and educational resources. Camp days are intended to be self paced and flexible with the length of time spent on activities dependent upon the interest of the camper.
