Item Description

Give a special week that any child (4-12 year old) is sure to remember!!!

For the past three summers, The Mountain School has provided a truly unique day camp experience for Wood River Valley children. Our program provides a first- hand experience to our school’s amazing farm, animals, bountiful gardens and outdoor spaces.  The Mountain School beautifully balances the outdoor aspect by intertwining this with arts, crafts and music. 

 

Throughout the summer our Farming and Permaculture programs introduce the students to simple, ethical and energy efficient living through work with gardening, greenhouse use and animal husbandry.  This practical magic with the school’s resident animals (chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, a jersey cow, and miniature horses) is a deep connection for the young or old child! The Arts program includes: music, drum talk, games, painting, sculpture, drama, movement, drawing and handwork.

 

 Wilderness skills are developed by archery, primitive wilderness skills and exploring. Come play with us on our trails, small creeks and nearby river environment or find daily changes transpiring in the rich garden life. Our indoor environment is as enchanting as our outdoors; with the indoor greenhouse and art room; kitchen for cooking the bounty from the farm and garden; our handmade and natural fiber toys and crafting materials or playing in the cozy fort there are endless discoveries to be made.

The Mountain School’s Summer Camp Program has been instrumental in introducing the school, our idyllic campus and the philosophy of Waldorf education into the community. Join us on the farm for Art, Farm and Wilderness this summer!

 All 9 weeks of basic camp have an Art, Farm and Wilderness theme for 4-12 year old campers. In addition, we have specialty camps alongside of the basic camp. 

*Good for one week 1/2 days at The Mountain School Camp
