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.

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning.
But for children play is serious learning.
Play is really the work of childhood.
