Summer Programs
NatureBridge offers a variety of summer programs for youth in grades K-12. From backpacking programs to summer day camps, a summer with NatureBridge is one spent outside, exploring and learning in our national parks.
Armstrong Scholars
Inspired by and in memory of former NatureBridge environmental science educator Joie Armstrong, the Armstrong Scholars program brings together young women for an empowering 12-day summer backpacking adventure in Yosemite's High Sierra.
Coastal Camp
Coastal Camp is a summer day camp for grades K-9 at NatureBridge's Golden Gate campus. A day at Coastal Camp is a day spent connecting to nature, exploring a national park, and having fun with new friends.
Summer Backpacking
While hiking through the stunning wilderness and picturesque mountainscapes of Olympic National Park, middle and high school students will learn the work of field scientists and develop their leadership skills while making friendships and connections to nature that last a lifetime.
Yosemite is Our Backyard
A summer camp program specifically tailored for the children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews of Yosemite area community members.
Yosemite Is Our Backyard is postponed until June 2021. Tickets will go on sale in January 2021. We look forward to welcoming your child to Yosemite then!
Sustain NatureBridge
Like so many others, we have made difficult decisions in response to COVID-19 with far-reaching implications for our students, staff and future. Our programs—the reason we exist—are cancelled for the rest of the school year. That's 13,000 kids who don't get to experience their national parks this spring. For our nonprofit, it also means $5 million in lost revenue and significant staff reductions. We, like so many others, are in crisis.
