Camp Groups by Age:

We organize our campers into small, age-appropriate groups to ensure everyone has fun, feels supported, and gets the most out of their summer adventure:

🐣 Little Explorers (Ages 2.5 – 4.5)

Our youngest campers thrive in a cozy, nurturing environment with extra staff support. These little ones enjoy age-tailored activities with plenty of play, creativity, and gentle guidance.
Note: This group has a $12/day additional fee due to lower student-to-teacher ratios.

🐛 Curious Campers (Ages 5 – 7)

Ready for a little more independence, this group dives into nature-based learning, imaginative play, and hands-on discovery with new friends.

🐻 Big Adventurers (Ages 8 – 11)

Older kids get to explore more challenging wilderness skills, art projects, group games, and leadership activities, all while building confidence and teamwork.

🌿 What We’re All About:

At Ancient Traditions, we believe childhood is about exploration, connection, and growth. Some of life’s most lasting lessons come from playing in new environments, with new friends, and trying new things.

Our camp brings together nature, animals, arts, music, foods, wilderness skills, cultures, and mindfulness in a joyful, hands-on environment.

We nurture curious, confident, and capable kids who are ready to take on the world—with kindness and courage.

💬 A Note from Us:

This camp is run with love, intention, and community spirit. We're independent and not-for-profit, which means we're here for the kids—not the bottom line.
