Introducing Mugworts Academy’s Young Explorers Camp, a four-day summer experience designed for children ages 5-8 to explore, create, and deepen their connection to the natural world. Rooted in the philosophy of right relationship - with themselves, others, and the land - this immersive camp invites young minds to learn through play, curiosity, and hands-on discovery.
Set on the tranquil grounds of White Feather Farm, campers will spend their days playing in nature, creating art from found objects, listening to myths and folktales, and engaging in interactive outdoor adventures that encourage respect for all living beings. With a focus on fun and connection, each activity is designed to inspire a sense of wonder while building confidence, emotional awareness, and teamwork.
Each morning begins with grounding exercises, where children will practice breathing techniques, mindfulness, and gentle movement to help them feel present and balanced. From there, they’ll take part in team-based games, sensory exploration, interactive lessons on plants and animals, and creative projects that allow them to explore their own relationship with nature. Afternoons will be filled with art, group projects, and opportunities for self-expression, ensuring a well-balanced rhythm of movement and reflection.
This first-year camp is intentionally small and intimate, fostering a nurturing environment where children can freely explore, connect, and grow with confidence. Whether they’re crafting from nature, solving riddles on a treasure hunt, or planting something with their own hands, each experience is meant to cultivate joy, curiosity, and a deeper respect for the world around them.
