As a very small business that believes quality education is for everyone, we will always keep our camps and programs affordable. In that spirit, we are rolling out several fundraisers from now until June to help us Keep Camp Affordable!

Our summer camps are some of the most affordable in Broome County. When we consider the cost of transportation, we would have to nearly DOUBLE the cost of our camps, raising the cost to nearly $400 a week. We refuse to pass that cost on to our families, it’s tough enough out there!

We will be offering parent education classes, weekend workshops, spring break camp, a used
book sale, and a new merch store opening in February to help offset our nearly $12,000 transportation bill. You can help by engagin with and sharing our posts and joining us at any of these fundraising events.

Thank you for joining us and believing in what we do, and helping us Keep Camp Affordable!

All the best,
Maggie and Jamie

Dress for the weather although the temperatures will most likely keep us indoors.

When the degrees are -5, we thrive! Our school-aged Fundamentally Wild! class had their class outdoors today and LOVED it. These explorers spent over 3 hours in the cold today, playing games and racing, building shelters, and enjoyed several rounds of Capture The Flag. Congratulations Fundamentally Wild class, you are all named Winter Session Champions!

Is it safe to play outside in this temperature? Yes. Especially for children who have spent so much time outdoors this winter, it felt like just another day. With the right layers and instructions to identify signs and feelings of frostbite, most children can play outdoors even when it's -5 degrees. It can help them feel confident, strong, and reduces the risk of illness. It also reminds them that you don't have to wait for things (like the weather) to be perfect, you can handle anything!

We ❤️ SNOW! Our preschoolers have had so much fun sledding, learning to make snowballs and throwing them, painting the snow, building a wind break out of tires, and just enjoying winter.

We always have open enrollment, and winter is a great time to start forest preschool! Drop in on our caregiver and child class tomorrow 10-11:30am at The Moss House Preschool (183 Riverside Drive in Binghamon) and learn more about our program.
