2025 Summer Camps
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
​
​​This summer, we will offer summer camps for children ages 2-8 years. ​
​
All of our camps are hosted at Mini Mavericks Preschool. We have a 10- acre farm that is fully fenced in- yet still offers adventure and autonomy. A core lesson Maverick Outdoors aims to develop involves choice. We help campers understand that they have the right and ability to choose their level of challenge. We provide a safe space for students to evaluate what is and is not an appropriate level of challenge for themselves. All Maverick Outdoor educators seek to educate, inspire, and empower the next generation of mavericks while creating memorable experiences outdoors and connecting like-minded people in a shared pursuit of learning, adventure, and stewardship.
