✨🧚♀️ We’ve streamlined our summer into one powerful week of wild wonder. 🧚♀️✨
At The Grove Collective, we dream boldly, listen deeply, and pivot with grace. After listening to the land, our team, and your feedback—we’ve condensed our summer camp into a single, vibrant week of soul-aligned play and connection.
🌿 What unfolds when an occupational therapist, a social worker turned homeschool mama, an art teacher, and a land steward—each walking their own path—discover a shared vision for regenerative education and community?
🌾 We gather. We build. We invite you in. 🌾
This weeklong camp welcomes children ages 5–12 as campers and youth 13–18 as volunteers. All programming is trauma-informed, sensory-aware, and rooted in child-led exploration. Held on the sacred land of The Picnik Table—15 preserved acres with trails, a flowing stream, outdoor classrooms, and a restored barn studio—our shared mission is to preserve foundational arts: nature, food, movement, and craft.

🛖 Each week, children will:
🌱Create their own forest village—complete with name, roles, and natural structures
🌱Learn the land, build a play economy, and practice circular decision-making
🌱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.
🐝 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
