From our friends at WildRoots Collective:

Where childhood is wild, curious, and rooted in nature

WildRoots Nature Camps offer children and youth the opportunity to spend their entire camp day outdoors, immersed in forest, farm, and garden environments across the Portland metro area. Campers learn through play, exploration, games, and hands-on experiences that build confidence, resilience, and a deep connection to the natural world.

There are no classrooms, desks, or screens — just real landscapes, meaningful projects, and skilled educators guiding children as they learn by doing.

🌿 What Sets WildRoots Camps Apart

  • Outdoors All Day, Every Day– Children spend the full camp day outside in all seasons. Forests, fields, gardens, and creeks are the classroom, supporting physical development, creativity, emotional regulation, and deep engagement.
  • Small Groups & Experienced Educators-Low camper-to-teacher ratios ensure children are truly known and supported. Educators are experienced outdoor teachers with backgrounds in inclusive, child-centered, and nature-based education.
  • Neuro-Affirming & Inclusive-WildRoots camps are designed to support a wide range of learning styles and needs. Camp culture prioritizes emotional safety, sensory awareness, autonomy, and connection rather than compliance or performance.
  • Real Skills & Meaningful Work-Campers cook real food, use real tools, build structures, solve problems, and contribute to their community — fostering independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose.
