A History of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability
Ìý
Green Camp was established in 2009 with a mission to get more people outside learning, playing, exploring and connecting with their environment. Since then, we’ve introduced thousands of students, families and communities from around the world to this unique and special place where memories are made and learning adventures are inspired by nature.
We welcome schools, families and groups to your year-round programs as well as our summer expeditions. And if you have a special request or interest we’ll even customize a camp especially for your group!
It’s no accident that once people visit Green Camp they feel a special connection and always want to come back for more. Those connections are made because exploring Nature and discovering her secrets while instilling a sense of wonder is embedded in our mission and expressed in our Four Pillars of Learning Educational Philosophy.

Green Camp’s 4 Pillars of Learning:
Sustainability Education The UN Sustainable Development Goals underpin the camp curriculum as a unifying framework for enhancing understanding of sustainability challenges, and to help us be more responsible global citizens.
Intercultural Appreciation We believe that the diversity of cultures in our communities should be deeply respected and understood.
Nature Based Learning Through a range of experiences campers are able to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
Personal and Social Development Full immersion in nature, with blurred lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, allows campers to fully experience their place in the natural world’s rich biodiversity.
