CEED- Center for Environmental Education and Discovery
Get your child outside to explore their creativity and think like scientists at CEED's Spring and Summer Nature Camp! Our child-centered teaching approach allows kids to take on and develop projects in art and nature like creating bug and fish habitats, sculptures, writing, drawing, and even create an entire play with friends. Children also go kayaking on the creek, hiking through the trails, seining at the salt marsh, and exploring a regenerative farm. This is a great opportunity for your child to safely explore nature, meet new friends, and discover their passions.

Steve & Kate’s Camp
Since 1980, Steve & Kate’s has put kids in charge of their own learning experience. Campers choose from a variety of activities in real-time, including sewing, coding, film, sports, and more! As kids try, fail, and learn on their own, they learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.
Families can buy any number of days, to use at any time–no weekly reservations required. Or, buy a Summer Pass, which covers the whole season. If your plans change, we’ll automatically refund any unused days at summer’s end. Lunch, snacks & 8am–6pm included.
