Grandparents and Special Friends Day
Outdoor Explorers
Outdoor Explorers
- (Week 1) June 15–18, 2026 (*4 days; Juneteenth Thu., Jun. 19)
Ages: Rising Grades 3–5
Cost: $425.00
Capacity: 18
Kids need time to explore and play in the great outdoors, and we have an exciting adventure planned just for them! They will hike, play thrilling adventure games, learn essential outdoor survival skills, and get a little dirty — all while unplugging in the stunning beauty of the DC area's hiking trails and national parks. Each day will be a new off-site expedition. We'll meet at Maret in the morning and set off to discover incredible locations together!
Campers will stretch their minds and bodies as they connect with nature and embrace the adventure that awaits.
To be fully prepared for our fun-filled days, each camper should bring a backpack with a full water bottle, a delicious lunch, sunscreen, and a hat. Campers should wear comfy clothes and sturdy shoes that are suitable for hiking and climbing rocks or trees. If long pants or long sleeves are needed for the day, our camp director will reach out the day before to give families a heads-up, so everyone is ready for an amazing experience. Let’s get outside and have some fun!
