Explorer Camps

We offer Weekend or week-long camps for young explorers (depending on the month/season).  We will meet at Elements Nature School's site and safely drive your children to and from the location where we will spend our days together.  These locations range from hiking trails around the Rogue Valley, to environmental education facilities like Siskiyou Field Institute or Wildlife images.  Many of our explorer camps involve hiking.  

Some of our destinations include the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, Upper Rogue River Basin, Lower Applegate Valley, Mt. Ashland and the Siskiyou Crest National Monument.  The flora, fauna and geology of these special lands will be our classroom for the camp duration. 

Transportation is provided in our 15 passenger van. Parents must provide a car seat if child requires one.

• camp hours may differ with the weather and seasons.
• Student to teacher ratio is 6:1 (no more than 12 students per camp).

In addition to fostering our young explorers environmental curiosity, we will guide your children in exploring and discovering their local forests and ecosystems.  The students will learn about animals and their habitats, plant identification, forest ecology and will be encouraged to participate in ecological discussions on the sights that are encountered throughout the camp.

Our camps range in ages from 4-14 years old.
