Discover the heart and soul behind Sprout and Sky Summer Camp
At Sprout and Sky, our vision is to nurture a generation of children who feel deeply connected to the natural world and are grounded in wonder, empathy, and curiosity. We believe these qualities, fostered through time in nature, help children grow into thoughtful, capable, and compassionate people.
Our camp is more than a summer experience—it's a place where seeds of character, confidence, and care for the planet are planted and encouraged to grow. Here's the kind of future we see for every child who joins us:
Children who understand their role in protecting and preserving our natural world for future generations.
Young minds that approach challenges with curiosity, creativity, and confidence born from outdoor exploration.
Future leaders who value collaboration, empathy, and the importance of caring for others and our planet.
Children who develop a natural curiosity and love for learning that continues throughout their lives.
At Sprout and Sky, our mission is to create meaningful outdoor experiences that spark imagination, support emotional well-being, and honor the natural rhythms of childhood. We believe nature is the most powerful teacher, offering endless opportunities to explore, wonder, and grow.
Through our carefully designed programs, we guide children to explore the natural world with curiosity and respect, helping them build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and cultivate a deep appreciation for the environment around them.
Outdoor exploration stimulates curiosity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
Time in nature reduces stress, improves mood, and helps develop emotional regulation skills.
Collaborative outdoor activities teach teamwork, communication, and empathy.
Outdoor play naturally promotes physical activity, developing strength and coordination.
Direct experience with nature fosters a deep connection to the environment.
Natural materials and open-ended outdoor spaces spark creativity and imaginative play.
Sprout and Sky was born from something simple and powerful: a deep love for nature, and a desire to give children the space to just be children.

At Sprout and Sky, outdoor play becomes an intentional, holistic journey that nurtures the whole child — helping them grow with integrity, confidence, and care, guided by our 5 core principles.
Research consistently shows that children who spend time in nature develop stronger cognitive skills, better emotional regulation, and deeper environmental awareness. But beyond the research, we've seen it firsthand in the children we've worked with.
Sprout and Sky is more than just outdoor play — it's an intentional, holistic, learning process that nurtures the whole child. Rooted in the rhythms of the earth and guided by our 5 core principles, this approach helps children grow with integrity, confidence, and care.

Through daily encounters with nature, children learn to treat all life with kindness — nurturing a deep-rooted respect for the earth, themselves, and each other.
In safe, supportive environments, children climb, explore, build, and take healthy risks. These experiences build bravery, helping them discover what they're capable of.
Learning is encouraged through inquiry, observation, and hands-on practice — where wisdom grows not from being told, but from doing and reflecting.
From tiny bugs to towering trees, every day brings awe. Children naturally develop Humility as they recognize they are part of something greater.
Nature invites children to be themselves — open, curious, and real. In this space, they learn to speak from the heart and live with integrity.
Every child who joins Sprout and Sky becomes part of our vision for a more connected, compassionate world. Together, we can nurture the next generation of nature lovers and environmental stewards.
