Nothing says summer like playing in the woods! This will be our first time offering camp sessions at Bend International School. Join us as we explore the nearby forest and river areas! We will learn about habitats, plants, animals, exploration, and splash in the Deschutes River with new friends.

*Updates about Forest Explorers summer camps location:

Due to some uncertainty about using Skyliner Lodge for summer 2025 and the possibility of roof replacement going on during that time, we have made the difficult decision not to run the Forest Explorers camp at Skyliner Lodge for summer 2025. We are excited to be based at Bend International School due to their proximity to Sawyer Park!
