Inspire Behavioral Learning: Call of the Wild Spring & Summer Nature Camps
Registration is open for Inspire's Call of the Wild Camps for Spring Break and Summer 2025! Day camp sessions are in Vacaville, Berkeley, Oakland, Los Gatos, and Cupertino/Los Altos Hills.
Call of the Wild outdoor nature camps are for young trailblazers, curious naturalists, eager readers, budding writers, and nature-inspired artists. Kids connect with nature, hike, read, write, explore, learn, create, and play in forests, nature preserves, and open spaces of the Bay Area. Our nature camps combine environmental education with recreation in the great outdoors. Kids take a breath of fresh air away from screens, share a love of nature, make new friends, and more!
