Camp Tinkergarten

SEE YOU JULY 12-16, 2027!

Camp Tinkergarten transforms our weekly Tinkergarten class into an immersive 5-day summer camp adventure. This is family camp at its best! Daily activities provide everyone with fresh air, connection with nature and good old-fashioned outdoor play! This summer, we focus on the four classic elements- Earth, Water, Air and Ice. ( I know it is supposed to be fire but Virginia in July is too hot for that!). Along the way we will use all of the skills we learned this year- communication, problem solving, empathy and our senses. To make it extra joyful, we will share all the fun with a special animal friend!

“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks” -John Muir

What Will We Experience?

Immersive, hands-on adventures exploring earth, water, air, and ice
Messy, joy-filled play with mud, sand, and nature’s tiniest treasures
Chasing the breeze with bubbles, scarves, and spinning pinwheels
Splashing, pouring, and discovering the magic of water in motion
Cooling off with ice play—melting, cracking, and uncovering hidden surprises
Growing confidence and connection through communication, problem-solving, and joyful outdoor play

This is what summer should feel like.
Slow days, messy play, and meaningful connection—together.
