✨🧚Join our one-of-a-kind nature camp where childhood is wild, wise, and wonderfully free✨🧚
What happens when an occupational therapist, a social worker turned homeschool Mama, an art teacher, and a land steward—all strangers just months ago—realize they share a vision for nature-based education and community building?
🌿 We build it. Together. 🌿
And now, we’re inviting you to join us.
Grove Collective x Picnik Table Summer Camp welcomes kiddos ages 5-12 as campers and ages 13-18 as volunteers. All activities are trauma-informed, sensory-aware, and rooted in child led wonder. Camp is held on the amazing land of The Picnik Table which boasts 15 acres of preserved woodland, multiple trails, outdoor classrooms, a stream, and a stunningly restored barn studio located just 25 minutes north of Pittsburgh. The Picnik Table is committed to providing a sanctuary of tech-free camps and classes with a focus on preserving the foundational skills of art, nature, food and craftsmanship.

🌱Explore expressive arts with Brye, the Picnik Table's in house art teacher
🌱PLAY! BE A KID!! Be spontaneous in the authentic connection with themselves and nature
🌱Be exposed to the arts of literacy through journaling, picturebooks, poetry and beyond
🌱Grow social-emotional skills through mindfulness, non violent communication, and guided conflict resolution
🥗 Each Friday from 12–2, families are invited to join us for a community potluck lunch and a camper-led village showcase—a time for celebration, connection, and storytelling.
🐝Please note that weeks 2 & 3 are full day offerings that run from 9am-2pm
🐝Accessibility is at the heart of everything we do at The Grove Collective. We believe every child deserves the chance to grow, explore, and connect with nature—regardless of family income. If the published fees present a challenge for your household, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at
