2026 SUMMER CAMP GROWTH
Nature-Based Summer Camp in Santa Clara County: BEan IN NATURE
“A week in nature can spark a lifetime of curiosity, confidence, and care.”
Your camper’s weeklong BE IN Nature immersion is guided by creative, professional, nature-led educators who skillfully and safely facilitate nature awareness, wilderness and ancestral survival skills, and expansive wild forest play.
Through hands-on experiences, children reconnect with the land, their senses, and one another—learning not just about nature, but with nature.
Our Mission: Awe, Curiosity, and Care for the Natural World
“We don’t teach nature — we help children remember they belong to it.”
Our mission is to nurture awe, curiosity, and care for the natural world through:
Hands-on outdoor learning
Ancestral ecological knowledge
Long-term, relationship-based mentoring
Rooted in equity, access, and reverence for the land, we bring meaningful environmental education directly into local parks and open spaces, creating opportunities for nature connection where it’s needed most.
What a Week at BEan IN NATURE Looks Like
“Each week is different, but the rhythm stays the same — safety, wonder, and connection.”
Your camper’s Summer 2026 experience changes week to week, guided by the land, the season, and the children themselves. While activities evolve, we follow a predictable daily flow that supports emotional safety, confidence, and belonging.
Every day includes our signature BEan Camp Nature-Led Survival Immersion, blending:
