About
Sonoma County Summer Camps offers weeklong summer day camps that use the local ecosystem as the classroom, with exploration, interaction, and storytelling as core parts of each day. Camp days include a Morning Circle, gratitude, snack, a daily wander or exploration, games and activities, lunch, free play, “Crafternoon,” sit spots, clean up, a Closing Circle, and Daily Highlights. Camps are divided into two age cohorts called Quail and Otters, with Quail and Otters groups engaging Sonoma County’s woods, creeks, meadows, hills, plants, and animals through these activities.
• Ages: 4–10 years old
• Schedule: Weeklong day camps, Monday through Friday, 9 AM–3 PM; four separate weeks offered (June 15–19, 2026; June 22–26, 2026; July 13–17, 2026; July 20–24, 2026)
• Price: Sliding scale tuition of $400 to $500 per week of camp ($13.33/hr to $16.66/hr)
Quail camps (ages 4–6) have two adult mentors and are capped at 12 participants, for a 1:6 ratio, and two Quail cohorts are planned during each week of camp. Otters camps (ages 7–10) have two adult mentors and are capped at 14 participants, for a 1:7 ratio, with occasional acceptance of 1–2 more participants if a majority are returners and the group dynamic can be anticipated. All employees undergo background checks, all staff carry long-range walkie talkies and stocked first aid kits, and lead mentors are trained in first aid and as mandated reporters. Weaving Earth has current and verified insurance for all of its programs and offers a scholarship fund supported by tax-deductible donations.
Weaving Earth Center for Relational Education states that its curriculum is organized into four interrelated pillars: Earth Intimacy, Co-Liberation, Embodiment, and prayerful action. The organization describes its programs as nature-based and following natural cycles of learning and growth, dedicated to equity, justice and social responsibility, and striving to cultivate deep connection to nature, self-love, and community service to protect both people and the planet. The mission statement for Weaving Earth Center for Relational Education is that it provides nature-based education for action at the confluence of ecological, social and personal systems change.
In previous years, many families participated in Weaving Earth programs via 4Cs Sonoma County and River to Coast Children’s Services (RCCS). 4Cs (Community Child Care Council) has been working since 1972 to ensure every child in Sonoma County has the care and early education they need, and RCCS advocates for the well-being of children and families in Western Sonoma County through subsidized child care, resources and referrals, provider and parent trainings and education, and community outreach.
One parent of three Wild Tenders youth program participants stated that they “could not be more impressed with the level of care the Weaving Earth youth staff brings to the children they work with” and described the staff’s dedication to “raising a conscious, grounded, and caring next generation” as “out of this world.”
