Beaver Brook Children's School, Inc.
A Non-Profit Early Education Program
located in Wilmington, VT
Nature Exploration Summer Camp
Our camp is a fully outdoor program that focuses on respectful relationships with our world. We nurture each child's curiosity and promote leadership, independence, and self-esteem. Our program provides nature-based, place-based, and project-centric learning opportunities to preschool and elementary age children. Our philosophy is that children thrive when they can follow their interests and engage in relevant, relatable experiences. We believe all children need time to play and explore in natural environments free of judgement and adult direction in order to build skills, gain self-esteem, and foster connections with the world that will lead to a sustainable future for their generation.
