Forest Detectives Summer Day Camp 2026 – Sprouts Ages 5-6

Ages: 5-6 – Sprouts
Dates: Aug 10 – 14, 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

Tickets on this page are for the Sprouts (ages 5-6) group only.

*To help ensure a positive and successful camp experience, children should be 5 years old and have completed one year of kindergarten or a full year of Nature School. Camp days are long, and we’ve found this helps set children up for success.

Registration pages for other age groups can be found by following the links below:

• Seedlings (ages 7 – 8.5)
• Saplings (ages 8.5 – 9)
• Oaks (ages 10 – 12)

We have moved to a sliding scale payment structure. To reduce barriers to participation and better serve families we intentionally set pricing as low as possible and seek grants and donations to help cover the true cost of programming—on average, our Full-Cost Rate is only 40% of the actual value of the program. We are adding the sliding scale payment structure as an additional step to improve access to our programs.

When registering, families are invited to self-select the rate that best reflects their current financial situation. No additional documentation is required. This system is built on trust, shared responsibility, and community care.

Payments for programs may be tax-deductible as childcare. For your records, OEA’s EIN is 82-0836935.
