Overview

Student-Teacher Ratio 7:1

This summer, the Curiosity Lab is offering a Girls Only camp.  If you have a daughter aged 5-11, please join us for a week long Outdoor Nature Exploration Camp along the magnificent San Mateo Coast.  

Every day we head to a different location, each one carefully selected to bring a sense of wonder and joy. We start the day connecting with nature by hiking on a trail, discovering secluded mountain creeks and waterfalls, exploring tide pools, marveling at majestic redwoods, climbing over boulders or walking barefoot along a sandy beach.  

As we explore, we learn about local ecosystems, habitats, plant and animal adaptations, bugs, fungi, lichen and anything else we may encounter as we notice and note the beauty of nature and place. 

After lunch, it’s time for free play, exploration and making new friends; splash in a creek, examine a bug, do an art project, become friends with a tree, go on a scavenger hunt, build a sand castle, fly a kite or simply bask in the sun. 

Created and led by a former public elementary school teacher who has spent the last 25 years developing curriculum and finding hidden gems that immerse children in outdoor nature experiences.

Our camps are small, with no more than 13 girls and 1:7 adult/child ratio.

Fantastic! Just what my girl needed. Outdoor adventure & fun the entire day. Different locations - redwoods, mountains, creeks, beaches. So many adventures that I couldn’t provide and the pictures to prove it ❤️ Wonderful experience for my 9 year old. Already signed-up for 2 sessions in summer 🐌🦋🐛 Wish we could do spring.

This is my son’s 3rd summer at The Curiosity Lab and this is the only camp he has ever asked to repeat year after year. They go to different places each day. They do hiking then play time after lunch in a creek, climbing boulders, building sand castles, etc. What I love most is the unstructured time. After a long school year, I want my kid to be a kid, exploring and having fun. As a former teacher, Julie is great about teaching kids while out on the trails based on what they come upon, not by demonstration material or arts and craft projects. There is nothing wrong with that but that is not this camp. They go out to explore and learn. My son won’t stop talking about all the redwood tree facts he learned this week when they visited a redwood forest. His favorite day of camp is Friday beach days. Kids are expected to carry their own backpacks and lunches on the trail and they go a few miles every day. Be mindful of the age limits for the camp but most importantly your kids ability. Julie has always led this camp since my son started and has always been wonderful. I always recommend this camp.
