The Seven Spring’s nature day camp was inspired by our little ones to provide them the learning experiences they deserve. We are nature based summer camp for children 3-6 years old. Our learning community will be kid centered, allowing the young ones to take responsibility for their learning. We will provide a safe and encouraging container of gently guided activities promoting creative free play arranged around weekly themes prompting exploration of themselves, each other and nature. We believe this nourishing family environment can support behavioral, social and emotional growth.

Weekly Schedule:
Week 1
The first week’s color is RED. Our children will explore through the Earth element by gardening and nature inspired freeplay. This week is also about sharing where we come from; our family members, our roots and how to give back to the ancestors and Mother Earth!
Week 2
ORANGE is our themed color for week two. In this time our children will use their imagination to creatively play, group problem solve and express emotions in safe and fun ways. Allowing the Water element to guide many of the weeks activities.
Week 3
For week three our color is YELLOW. This week is about shining bright in who we are! To be like the Sun and learn how to bring light into the world. Our children will have opportunities to practice confidence through show and tell, dancing, singing and playing instruments together.
Week 4
GREEN is our fourth color. Week four is all about love! How can we express love? How do we learn about self love? Is unconditional love in the air? Let the wind carry our love out into the places into the world that need it most!
Week 5
The fifth color is BLUE. This week is inspired by using our voices! Encouraging our children to use their words, to creatively express themselves and play in the art of chanting, singing and toning. While also understanding that listening is just as important as speaking up!
Week 6
PURPLE is week six’s color! To use our imagination, to think outside of the box and try things in new ways! Encouraging our children to explore who they are and what they want to maybe grow up to be one day!
Week 7
Our seventh week is represented by BLACK & WHITE. Here our children will play with balance, learn about opposites and experience with our center of our beings!
Week 8
RAINBOW is our last themed color/s of the week! Our littles will use their senses to explore and make sense of the world around them by touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving and hearing. This final week is filled with teamwork and doing things together!

Tosha Kemper is our lead teacher and program designer. She was born and raised in Southern California and now, for the last three years, she has had the great privilege and honor to teach yoga in several different places around the world. She is a 500hr Yoga Practitioner and really enjoys guiding children through movement while playing. She also has a background in ABA - behavioral therapy with children. ABA therapy (applied behavioral analysis) gifted her an insight to the development of behavior, the wonders of functional communication, and to the pure magic that each individual is. For almost four years she performed one to one therapy for autistic clients, trained others to do so and managed the team and clients. And for over ten years Tosha was a part of the E.S.C.A.P.E. Theater, a children’s musical theatre group! Seven Springs Rainbow day camp has become a wonderful creation to combine and incorporate all of these unique backgrounds into one. |
