SOMa MINI-CAMPS, 2026-27
Want to get your kids outside over the upcoming breaks? Then please join us!
We try to offer these 4-hour camps throughout the school year, usually when school is not in session for a week or more. Below are the details, for anyone who may be interested. Our Mini-Camps are also a perfect trial for those new to the program, before signing up for our After-School Program.
- The camp will be outdoors (rain, snow or shine) and we will hand pick activities from among a list of our all-time favorites. That should get us into the woods and exploring all of our favorite areas of the Reservation (and with the extra time, maybe some new spots as well!) If there is snow (and enough of it), we will take full advantage, including sledding!
- While we do not have any scheduled in the immediate future, we may have availability at different times of the year, if anyone is interested in organizing one. This is open to girls & boys, ages 5-12 ("Mini-Camp" is a shorter time frame than a full-day camp, not for younger kids only).
- Drop off and pick-up for dismissal afterwards will be at the first Tulip Springs Parking Lot, just off of Cherry Lane, and these programs typically run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
- Not sure what to wear? Just check here.
- Besides dressing appropriately for the weather, you really only need to send along a packed lunch and a water bottle with your child. For the protection of those who may need it, no one is permitted to bring anything with peanuts or nuts of any kind.
- The cost of the program is $450 for the week or $100/child/day. The minimum number of participants is 5 and the maximum is 21. Signing up for an entire week is not required, as long as we have at least 5 participants enrolled each day. However, joining for the whole week ensures the maximum amount of fun!
- When these are offered, registration will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. To pre-register, just e-mail Mike to reserve your spot. After that, please complete the online registration form (link below) and submit payment (once the payment e-mail goes out) to secure your child's enrollment. Registration is not official until the form and full payment are received.
- Please note: Anyone who has been in the program this school year and has filled out our form already DOES NOT NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER FORM.
- With enough notice throughout the year, it may be possible to schedule a private Mini-Camp group, Monday-Friday, outside of any pre-scheduled dates that may appear above. Please inquire if interested.
If you have any questions, or wish to enroll, please
