3rd/4th Grade Summer Camps
RegisterOverview
Walking Mountains’ 3rd/4th grade summer science camps allow children to explore their curious nature through scientific education and daily exploration. All Summer Science Camps are age-appropriate and taught by qualified natural science educators who make learning safe and fun.
During our weeklong day camps, campers will experience the wild places of the Eagle River Valley while nurturing their connection to the natural world through daily excursions in our summer camp vans to different sites. While most of the places we travel to are within Eagle County, we do go as far as Leadville, Glenwood, and McCoy to access sites with relevancy to certain camps.
All overnight camps are based out of one of the historic 10th Mountain Division hut system.
