Fern & Fir Kids Camp

Fern & Fir is a dynamic nature-based learning program that offers immersive outdoor education for children who thrive in hands-on, experiential environments. Designed for curious and capable kids, this forest school-style community blends outdoor learning, child-led exploration, and meaningful real-world challenges to foster confidence, creativity, and resilience. Students spend their days engaged in nature exploration, fire building, handcrafts, teamwork, and problem-solving activities that support social-emotional growth and whole-child development. Serving families seeking alternative education and outdoor school programs, Fern & Fir provides a supportive, adventure-filled environment where children build independence, leadership skills, and a lifelong connection to the natural world.

About the activity:

Celebrate the Spring Equinox with a joyful, hands-on outdoor learning experience that honors balance, renewal, and the return of light. Designed as a meaningful seasonal gathering, this special day invites children to explore native pollinators and their vital role in local ecosystems, create seed bombs to support habitat restoration, and discover the fascinating relationships between plants and pollinators. Participants will craft nature mandalas, share intentions for the new season, and enjoy a kid-friendly herbal spring beverage alongside a welcoming fire circle with marshmallow roasting. Through cooperative games, environmental education, and nature-based activities, this memorable equinox celebration blends community, ecology, and seasonal tradition in a way that helps children connect deeply with the rhythms of spring.
