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.

One group of wildly adventurous children aged 12 months to 4 years seeking similar to join us on all of our Central Oregon adventures. We enjoy long days in the forest, smiling back at the bobcat at the museum, counting sheep and chickens at the farm, digging in the mud and running barefoot through all of the parks. If you enjoy these things too and don’t mind messy clothes, hammock naps and playing in the rain then come meet us! We’re based in Bend and we’ve got room for you to join the fun Monday through Thursday from 7am-5:30pm.

We are jumping into our second week of watching these bears bulk up! We’re learning the basics about bears and their prep for winter hibernation and the life cycle of salmon. We’ve learned about predator and prey in the past but now we’re talking about how some animals are predator and prey and how they fit into a food web! 😳 🐻 🐟 🐛 🦅

What do you get when you add chalk to a stump? A pirate ship and an epic treasure hunt in the forest. The treasure was a fantastical fort with cozy couches and chairs and a pet mouse named Housar with his very own bed and tv.
