Discover the wonder of summer at River Farm!

Join us July 21–25 for a week of nature play, storytelling, music, and hands-on exploration rooted in Redemptive Education. Led by beloved CRE teachers Dinah Steele and Tess Quinn, this camp invites children ages 5–10 to delight in the outdoors and grow in wonder, wisdom, and community.

Spots still available—come be part of the adventure!

 

Immerse your child in a one-of-a-kind all-outdoor educational summer program set on the breathtaking 25-acre estate of the American Horticultural Society—once part of George Washington’s original farmland.

Here, nature comes alive as children explore, create, and learn through hands-on adventures in literature, science, music, and art. Guided by passionate outdoor educators, they’ll ask and investigate big questions: What is a life cycle? How do animals depend on each other? How do birds build their nests?

Set against spellbinding river views, vibrant flower gardens, and lush meadows, River Farm provides the ultimate space to play, discover, and grow. Children will find inspiration in the whimsical children’s garden, serene meditation garden, and thriving wildlife garden—each designed to spark curiosity and wonder.

With access to River Farm’s Children’s Nature Library and Reading Room, featuring over 1,700 nature and gardening books, young explorers will deepen their connection to the natural world in a setting unlike any other.

This is summer the way it’s meant to be—wondrous and full of discovery!
