Base Camp

Base Camp Base Camp Early Childhood Services, llc is an outdoor and nature inspired program focusing on social emotional development in the early years.

Our big adventures encourage campers to use all of their senses to observe, explore, question, and discover as they develop resiliency, gain independence and learn through play. Playing and learning in a variety of environments; parks, forests, museums, libraries, farms and more, Central Oregon offers Base Campers never ending explorations to inspire lifelong learning and adventure! As a parent/guardian of a Base Camper you’ll enjoy seeing your child grow and develop social emotional, problem solving, communication, and relationship building skills. With a focus on deep connections in a small group setting, Base Camp gets toddlers and preschoolers out of the traditional classroom setting to build curiosity, love for learning, and an appreciation for adventure.

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning.
But for children play is serious learning.
Play is really the work of childhood.

There are cold Monday mornings when even I don’t want to be outside. But I stick with it, get the right gear on, and I'm so grateful I do it. Happiness is squeezing these last sunny days out of fall.

Another autumn day full of wonder! They used all of their senses playing with squash guts from the squash we grew!!!

One friend says “0/10 ⭐️ do not recommend” raw Pikes Peak squash.
Another friend gives 10 ⭐️ for most any food he tries.

Turns out they like all of these veggies roasted and served with ketchup as much as they do when it’s raw. They don’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️

☀️ 🍓 PNP Strawberry Jelly 🍓 ☀️
Our *process not product* jelly was so great for the small group we had today! Everyone is taking a little bit home this week because of course we’re saving some for our friends who are not here today! Picking strawberries has been the highlight of the season for the kids.

🦂 A little science lesson we did not expect (or want) today at the park. Looks like the Bark Scorpion that we often encountered in AZ but this creepy crawler is the Bark Scorpion’s Central Oregon cousin the Western Forest Scorpion. With love for all things nature we hope to never encounter one of these again.
