Mission:

The mission of Camp Norse Co-op is to create a program where enrichment fuels success and a love of learning is nurtured while childhood is preserved. We believe that play fuels children’s personal growth, and our program culture includes time in nature, developing relationships, recreation, cooking, and exercise. Our whole child approach includes social-emotional, Project Based, and hands-on learning experiences. 

We look forward to working with you and your child to rediscover the magic of childhood, expand the definition of learning, and reconnect as part of a community that feels like family.

What to look forward to:

We spend as much time outside as we can, exploring and experimenting while also allowing time for free play and making and cultivating friendships. Our day typically starts with a hike in a different area of our 325-wooded-acre campus. Recess/free time is provided at lunch and snack times during the day.

Educational exploration through a mix of hands-on activities and creative writing. Our weekly schedule for Tuesday specials includes Cooking, journaling, and Art. On Wednesdays we have our Boy Scouts of America Outdoor Skills instructors incorporating new projects from Animal and Natural Sciences to STEAM, or Archery, BB Guns at the range and Climbing on our Bouldering Wall. Thursday is our STEM Workshop where students work on long-term individual or collaborative projects in a wide range of subjects.
