Camp Description
Heartwood Break Camps give children the opportunity to experience the glory of St. Edward State Park throughout the changing seasons.
Each break camp is unique in its own way as the forest changes throughout the year, from the leaf piles in fall to the rushing streams in winter to the emerging greenery of spring. Break Camps are full of forest play, hiking, crafting, and exploration. During the cooler days, the children warm their hands around a daily fire, share tea and play field games to build community and keep everyone warm. On warmer days the children will splash in spring puddles, roll down grassy hills and relax lakeside.
This camp is a 100% outdoors nature immersion program designed to nurture in children a sense of belonging in the natural world and to each other. Come adventure with us!
