Base Camp

Base Camp Base Camp Early Childhood Services, llc is an outdoor and nature inspired program focusing on social emotional development in the early years.

Our big adventures encourage campers to use all of their senses to observe, explore, question, and discover as they develop resiliency, gain independence and learn through play. Playing and learning in a variety of environments; parks, forests, museums, libraries, farms and more, Central Oregon offers Base Campers never ending explorations to inspire lifelong learning and adventure! As a parent/guardian of a Base Camper you’ll enjoy seeing your child grow and develop social emotional, problem solving, communication, and relationship building skills. With a focus on deep connections in a small group setting, Base Camp gets toddlers and preschoolers out of the traditional classroom setting to build curiosity, love for learning, and an appreciation for adventure.

📣 CALLING ALL ADVENTURERS 📣

One group of wildly adventurous children seeking similar to join us on all of our Central Oregon adventures.
We enjoy bundled up days in the forest, rolling in fresh snow, smiling back at the bobcat at the museum, digging in the mud and running barefoot through all of the parks.
If you enjoy these things too and your parents don’t mind messy clothes, hammock naps and playing in the rain then come meet us!
We’re based in Bend and we’ve got room for friends over 24 months old (or almost) to join the fun Monday through Thursday 7am-5:30pm, 7-430 Friday.
