Does your child love animals and learning on outdoor adventures, not just from home on screens? We hear the call of the wild in Vacaville. K-5th graders explore, hike, play, and learn in Vacaville outdoor nature camps. Call of the Wild Camps are 100% outdoors with nature as our living classroom. Vacaville camps have small groups of eight to ten children. Kids share a love of nature, learning, and friendship in the great outdoors.

At Inspire Behavioral Learning®, we believe in learning by doing, so lessons are relevant to the learner's environment, engaging the whole child - head, heart, and body. Vacaville nature camps are a fun blend of outdoor education and recreation. Our day camps combine:

​

  • Biology and language arts enrichment

  • Kindness for campers and animals

  • Enjoyable exercise on hikes and in play!

​

Child to staff ratio: most sessions 4:1 or 5:1

Activities

 

Educational nature camps for K-5 combine hiking, reading, writing, play, art, and nature connection. In active day camps, kids hike in local parks, navigate trails, build forts, explore nature, learn amazing animal facts, play entertaining perspective-taking games, read and craft their own stories with wilderness themes, illustrate stories, create and perform skits, do scavenger hunts, nature journal, practice storytelling across genres, deepen their sense of wonder and respect for nature, become eco-conscious, eat healthy food, develop executive functioning skills to become hike leaders, strengthen stamina, make friendships, and more!​
