In the sun-kissed state of California, where palm trees sway in the breeze and the Pacific Ocean sparkles under the sunlight, a group of adventure-loving kids craves the thrill of outdoor escapades. Known as the 'Nature Navigators,' they explore the jagged mountain peaks, the tranquil forest trails, and the mysterious depths of the sea, all under the guidance of their magical mentor, Captain Kookaburra. Ah, Captain Kookaburra! He's not your regular guide. A bird with a surfer dude's spirit and the wisdom of a forest elder, he sports rainbow-colored feathers and a tail that transforms into a boogie board! With his hilarious jokes that make the squirrels chortle, and his tall tales that even the wise old owl finds amusing, he is the coolest bird in all of California. These 'Nature Navigators' are no ordinary kids either. With their sun-kissed faces, sand-filled shoes, and hearts full of courage, they dive into every adventure with rambunctious enthusiasm. They are the ones who would high-five a grizzly bear in Yosemite, take a selfie with a sea lion on the beaches of Santa Monica or race against a roadrunner in the Mojave Desert. Every day with the Nature Navigators and Captain Kookaburra is a whirlwind of laughter, learning, and leg-pulling. They may get mud on their clothes, but they also get stars in their eyes, learning to respect and protect the vibrant natural world around them. Because in California, it's not just about the golden sun or the crimson sunsets - it's about the golden-hearted kids whose laughter rings out over the rustling leaves, embodying the true spirit of this beautiful state.

At Camp Wildcraft we believe that having campers of different ages creates a unique and special atmosphere. Our older campers are reminded of their childhood and can enjoy the imaginative play of their younger selves. This also gives them the opportunity to be role models for our younger campers. With our guidance, they can develop empathy, patience, and leadership skills through activities like sports, hiking, and art. Younger campers benefit from watching the older campers and can learn how to navigate challenges, explore in different ways, or share their ideas. During “choice activities” campers group by their shared interests, rather than age. We also encourage making friends with age-mates, and this is made easier in a camp community atmosphere. At Camp Wildcraft, we have experienced the positive effects of having campers of different ages. Our older campers are able to enjoy childhood memories and our younger campers can learn from them. Through activities like sports, art, and hiking, our campers can develop leadership and social skills. We also encourage making friends with age-mates and support campers as they explore different ways of playing.
