Wild Earth Camp

Learn and have fun with us outside at Wild Earth Camp! Designed for ages 4 to 13, our camps are designed to connect children to nature through hands-on experiences, guided exploration, and teaching skills like building structures, tracking wildlife, crafting, storytelling, studying birds and native plants. Many of our mentors spent summers growing up in Athens with Wild Earth Camp, and are excited to share new nature adventures with your kids!

Learn more about all of our 2026 summer programming including Spring Break and Summer Camps and our Forest School.

Wild Earth Camp is offering one week of Spring Break Camp and five weeks of Summer Camp for children who love spending time outdoors. Campers will explore the 50-acre Piedmont Preserve off Chase Street in Athens, spending their days in the fields, forests, and along the streams.

Each camp week runs Monday through Friday from 9:00am–2:00pm, with drop-off between 8:45–9:00am and pick-up between 1:45–2:00pm. Weekly rates range from $285–$350, with early registration on or before March 25th at the $285 rate. Full payment is required at the time of registration.

Week 1: May 25th–29th
Week 2: June 1st–5th
Week 3: June 15th–19th
Week 4: June 22nd–26th
Week 5: July 6th–10th

What happens if it rains or storms?
We plan to have camp in the rain and will have covered areas spread out in the forest for the children to gather and still be able to do activities. Also, we will  likely be out hiking and playing in the rain with whoever is comfortable. If there is lightning and storms, we will cancel and do our best to reschedule.

Interested in other nature programming?
We also offer a Forest School for ages 3 to 8! Next session is February 23rd–May 13th (you may enroll after the session starts if not full) on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30am to 1:30pm. Learn more about enrollment, including our 1 Day and 2 Day options.
