Campers are also treated to professional concerts, workshops and creative activities. It’ll be an unforgettable summer of music and a lifetime of memories!

Green Schoolhouse PDX
Join us as we explore our outdoor world as scientists, adventurers, artists, and gardeners during full day summer camps in two locations. Each week students immerse themselves in a theme to understand growing and preserving their own food, solving mysteries through clues left in the night, and getting to know the not-so-creepy crawlies that we need in our world. Low ratios allow children to dive deep into their environment and get to know each other and our amazing counselors. Green Schoolhouse is a small operation and we have one major goal: to get children outside all day during the summer. Because we are small we can offer flexible financial options without questions. We know that everyone’s home economics are different and we do not expect you to explain why. All we need to know is that you want and your children want to be outside exploring and experiencing our environment.
