Your Child’s Best Summer Starts Here

This summer, let your child step away from screens and into an adventure full of sunshine, laughter, and discovery at the Alice Ferguson Foundation’s Summer Adventure Camps.

Get Early Access


Designed for children aged 4 to 13, our day and overnight camps transform the outdoors into a living classroom—where caring for animals, exploring wetlands, and hiking through forest trails spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Guided by experienced educators, campers build friendships, develop teamwork, and gain a deeper respect for the environment through hands-on learning and unforgettable fun.
