About Us
Camp Roots was founded in 2013 by April Rose, an educator and mother of five with a passion for the outdoors and a simple mission: to get kids outside. April spent her childhood afternoons freely exploring outdoors: playing at the park with friends, making forts in the bushes outside her home, catching bugs and making them her pets, or just being outside. She credits those hours of unstructured engagement, wonder, and discovery for shaping her love of nature and her entrepreneurial spirit.
OUR CORE VALUES

Forest Roots is a homeschool nature immersion program for ages 6-12. In the forest environment, children have the opportunity to learn through direct contact with nature.
Wild Roots (11-15)
Wild Roots encourages middle school children to revel in the wonder of their still present childhood while giving them the tools and time for the future.
Family Roots (All Ages)
Family Roots gets families outside and exploring together. Each class begins with a morning circle and short yoga practice, followed by a hike.
