Welcome to Nature Camp 2025!
Nature Camp at Tauxemont Preschool offers a unique theme for each one-week camp session. Nature Camp is held during the months of June and July, where your child can enjoy a traditional camp experience with nature hikes, camp songs, opening and closing ceremonies and more... all within Tauxemont Cooperative Preschools’ beautiful wooded setting! Camp is directed by staff members Barbara Bradley, Lisa Finn and Dawn Matthews. This camp is intended for children who are independent and can easily separate from parents or guardians
Morning Camp
5 one-week morning camp sessions for children ages 3 1/2 (by June) through completion of 1st grade (rising 2nd graders) are offered Monday thru Friday from 9:00 am to 11:45 am. All camp themes include elements of art, literature, music and animals. Nutritious snacks are provided daily.
Afternoon Camp
Afternoon Camp is held during sessions 2 and 3, Monday through Friday from 1:15 pm to 4:00 pm. This camp is for children 4 ½ years old through completion of 2nd grade (rising 3rd graders). Afternoon camp will include expanded elements of our traditional morning camp, allowing us to further learn about and explore the week's theme. This camp is intended for children who no longer require an afternoon nap.
