Why Camp Walden

We think summer camps should be innovative, fun, and different.

They should challenge and engage your child both creatively and academically. Camp Walden provides the total package in an exciting, five-week program packed with sessions ranging from athletics, arts and crafts, STEAM activities, cooking, and more!

A positive social-emotional experience for our campers is a top priority. In addition, instructors strive to get kids outside to learn and play through nature.
