  • Insider Reviews & Perspectives

    The Our Kids review of Ecosource Climate Connections Day Camp

    our take

    There’s not much more rewarding than sending your child to a non-profit camp where they’ll learn how to be a better human. At Ecosource Climate Connections Day Camp, kids participate in a wide variety of hands-on activities related to the environment. This nature-focused camp shows campers how small changes have a great impact and how they are an important cog in the wheel. While empowering kids with fun programming both on- and off-site, kids also learn leadership skills, empathy, and how to build relationships. Camp counselors are professionals who are trained extensively in environmental education and have a great enthusiasm for helping the environment and teaching. They know how to teach touchy topics in a child-friendly way. The teaching kitchen is a highlight of the program, where kids learn valuable cooking and nutrition skills, as well as the importance of sourcing local ingredients. On top of that, they get to eat what they make. Trying new, healthy foods that they might not eat at home is a bonus for any parent.

    Summer 2022 (Parent)Excellent Communication

    I appreciated how smooth and positive my children's first summer day camp experience was. The communication with parents before and during the camp was excellent. My children benefit from having access to as much information as possible before new experiences so the fact that I could share with them the map, schedule, and camp leader bios helped tremendously ...

    Dear Parents, 

    At Ecosource, we are passionate about engaging kids in environmental education. We feel that empowering the next generation of environmental leaders is not only important work but also incredibly fun and inspiring. Everyday we learn something new from our campers and strive to integrate their passions and talents into our programming. With screen time on the rise, we also prioritize getting kids outside to build meaningful connections with nature that help them de-stress and build relationships with the land and each other.

    We would be delighted to engage your children in camp and look forward to rolling up our sleeves to make real environmental change alongside them. 

    See you outside, 

    Britt
