Overview

Our camp is focused on exploring and playing in nature. The goal of this camp is to let children be children, letting them play in nature while learning about their surroundings and the balance in nature.

Each day we take a small group of children and after meeting up for circle in the morning, we head off to different local state parks, beaches, creeks and farms.

Some of our past adventures include:

  • A day trip to Harley Goat Farm to look for frogs in the pond, visit the goats, pig and the Alpaca before heading to Pescadero beach to play. (We do not go into the ocean waves.)​
  • A day trip to Half Moon Bay we might hike to see some horses or swing on a cool rope swing before heading to one of the local beaches to play. Depending on the beach we might dig for crystals at “dog beach”, build sand castles and explore the tide pools or
    build a driftwood fort at San Gregorio State Beach.
  • Hiking through the Redwoods at Memorial County Park or Purisima Creek to play at the creek. We try to catch and release crawfish, count the banana slugs along the way and look for newts.
  •  A day trip to Hidden Villa to see their big garden, the farm animals and hike in the forest to play at the creek.

On all of our adventures, we have seen everything from the smallest insects, frogs, banana slugs, turkeys and deer to watching whales spouting and birds of prey flying.

Please, make sure to pack a snack and a lunch for your child and provide a booster seat if your child is under 8 years and 80 pounds.

Regarding COVID Precautions:

We will have 12 children per group or less in the van and at this point masks are optional.

Children will need to bring their own snacks along with their lunch and water bottle.​ 

When the children are outside playing it is suggested that they do not wear their mask.

My kids have attended Hummingbird camp a few times. My son did a session over mid-winter break, and both my kids joined for two weeks over summer break. They both loved it - even during the mid-winter camp when there was a lot of rain and mud. They have fun adventures that they come home talking about. That said, my kids love spending time outdoors, and we give them the right clothes to handle what the weather throws at them. If your kids like to spend time outside, your kids will have a great time!

We definitely had some concerns about our child's specific needs, safety and supervision after her first day of camp, That said, Kathy was a good communicator about them and our kid ended up having a positive experience overall. I think (like most camps) this one comes down to whether or not the camp is a good fit for your kid. If they are comfortable with minimal structure and supervision make new friends easily and love to play outside all day, they'll probably love it. Just wasn't quite right for our kid, now we know.
