Winter Break Outdoor Nature Exploration Camp

Our son had a wonderful experience with Teacher Julie and Teacher Jessica at The Curiosity Lab. Each day was thoughtfully planned and a new adventure for the kids - my son loved exploring new places to hike with the group, and through his time in the camp, we have discovered a new beach that we may not have come upon had it not been for The Curiosity Lab. We look forward to enrolling my son again for next summer!

This camp was the best camp! They went on a new adventure every day. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My kids will definitely do this camp again - kept their attention and he always came home talking about how he had "the best day".

Our son had a lovely experience at The Curiosity Lab! He loved getting to give himself a nature name, getting to learn about insects in nature. I was impressed that Julie got him to hike long distances (little legs!) in summer heat! We highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic camp. Highly recommended. Our six-year-old son had a blast. He came home telling us stories of his hikes and the animal that he has seen.

Highly recommend! My kid went to five different parks during this camp. They hiked 2-5 miles each day. Everyday, they came home with excitement and fun stories!

Julie has a fantastic way with kids and literally transports these kids all over the Bay Area to instill a love and curiosity in nature and the outdoors. The Camp is special and true to its name and simply would not be possible through a larger organization. My twins attended - one an avid naturalist who can talk about plants and another a sworn anti-hiker who we would be lucky if she would hike half a mile without massive protestations. They came home every day happy, dirty and having had an absolutely fantastic time. My daughter has drawn maps of where they went and now loves hiking. So thank you!!

My 6 year old had a blast!!! She especially loved the banana slug hunt and the climbing on rocks at Castle Rock! She kept asking for more and is excited for the summer camp version as well. Julie was a great communicator and made me feel completely confident my daughter was in good hands! Seems she made lots of friends too!

This camp was great!! My nature-loving son loved it, but so did my daughter, who usually isn’t into nature. They had hard time deciding which was their favorite day but finally landed on tidepooling day for my son and beach day for my daughter. They were both so excited to tell me all about the cool stuff they did at camp.. This camp gave my kids the opportunity to have fun outdoors while engaging in and learning about different natural environments everyday (as well as the added bonus of being off screens all day ). The campers also get ample time to free play outside and just be kids. Julie planned the days wisely, making sure the destinations made sense with the weather (i.e. on an extra hot day, she planned a day in the shady trees.) Julie always greeted the kids by name and had such positive and kind energy. We will be signing up again next summer!

Our 12 year old really enjoyed this camp. The hikes were challenging and fun.

My son loved his week attending Nature Exploration Outdoor Summer Camp. It was a small group with two other boys his age which was nice for him. He loved all the different nature places he went. He came home very tired, dirty and happy.

This camp was amazing!! Our 7-year-old daughter had the best time hiking and playing in the creeks and water each day. They journaled and made walking sticks. it was a lovely way for her to be outside, exploring CA. Julie is terrific and I am so grateful we found this camp. Would 100% sign her up again (I just wish I could do it also! ha ha). Thank you, Julie!
