2025 Sessions

The Cedar Camp experience offers youth an opportunity to practice independence, build self-efficacy, and take on more responsibility all while building connections to place and the natural world. Cedar Camp has daily, nature and STEM-based themes that allow our instructors to follow the ebbs and flows of camper interests, community needs, and emergent natural opportunities. Games, activities, explorations, and projects empower Cedar campers all while learning, playing, and having a blast!
