For the youngest nature lovers. Bring your little one out for a fun week of learning about and exploring nature through songs, games, gentle hikes, arts and discovery. Parents are invited to drop off and come back, use our new community space (catch up on work or participate in an Imago Adult Class), or participate in the camp with your little one. Whatever makes you or your child feel comfortable. The community space is a great place for parents to hang out and be close and helps you avoid having to drive home and then right back during this shorter camp.

This camp is part of Imago's Sustainable Leaders Initiative, creating the next generation of sustainability leaders. Through programs like these, Imago helps foster future leaders in the green movement. The initiative features training on leadership, communication, teambuilding, project planning and more.

The summer week is a physical and enlightening journey as we couple outdoor adventures, leadership training, and hands-on exposure to the region's sustainability experts.
