Screech Owl Camp

At Screech Owl, children ages 4-7 build a home in the woods, engaged in purposeful play with caring mentors. Each day is built around wonder, inclusivity, resiliency, and exploration in nature. A strong daily routine and flexible nature based curriculum creates an easeful and supportive environment for young campers to thrive outdoors. All activities include core introductory earth-living and social skills that we will build upon as we grow through Wild Earth programs.

At Screech Owl Camp we:

  • Play, explore, and build comfort in the outdoors.
  • Cultivate self-awareness grounded in routine and positive communication.
  • Participate and share in activities, stories, and rest in a group setting.
  • Craft and creatively express with natural and found materials.

Participants can sign up for two 2-week sessions.

Location: Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in High Falls | 2 Rescue Road, High Falls NY 12440

What to know about Summer Camp before you register

+ About our NEW Wood Duck Wednesday Add On Program in Gardiner!

Spending full days outdoors is both rewarding and demanding, on our campers, our staff, and the land itself. A mid-week rest day helps everyone recharge, reducing the risk of fatigue and injuries while ensuring we can all return refreshed and ready for the next adventure.

We understand that this schedule may create a gap in care for some families. To help bridge that gap, we’re introducing the Wednesday Add-On Program for our Screech Owl and Kestrel families.

This indoor/outdoor hybrid program offers campers a gentle mid-week experience with cozy reading nooks, art projects, and sensory-rich materials, along with outdoor time that deepens their connection to the natural world. Holding the program at a new site with a dedicated team allows both our primary staff and camp spaces the rest they need to sustain a vibrant, safe camp experience all summer long.

Please note that availability will be limited as we pilot this new offering.

+ Is Your Camper Ready for Screech Owl?

We want your child’s time at camp to be successful, safe, and fun! Your camper must be able to do the following before the start of camp.

  • Participants MUST be 4 years old by February
  • Communicate needs with instructors (ex: bathroom, injuries, discomforts)
  • Use the bathroom independently: a porta potty will be on site as well as the option to use the bathroom in the woods.
  • Change clothes independently, including taking shoes on and off.
  • Sit and learn amongst others.
  • Drink water and or eat when asked.
  • Stay with their group.

Register now and reserve your space in Screech Owl Camp today. Space is limited.
