Camp Wildfolk is a child-centered day camp with 2 locations: West Hollywood and East Valley. Wildfolk is project-based and truly unique- offering a balanced blend of structure and choice, with activities and staff campers are wild about!
The spirit infused throughout camp feels “old school,” yet grounded in a mindful and intentional way of supporting and guiding children. Camp Wildfolk’s caring, silly, and wildly fun Guides are often cited as the #1 reason campers return year after year.

Wildfolk offers a variety of programs to tailor many age groups. Their main camp hosts 1st-7th graders with exciting electives and teambuilding opportunities. Campers choose 3 electives for each two-week “Classic” session: something active, something brainy, and something artsy.

Their specialized Young Folks program for rising Pre-K, TK, and Kinders sells-out early every year. The Guides-in-Training (GIT) program offers leadership opportunities for tweens and teens (7th-10th grade).

They also offer specialty one-week Makers Camps such as Pinata Makers, Woodwork Makers, Fiber + Felt Makers, + more. Plus, they offer a few Adventure Camps to provide big thrills for kids looking to go on awesome field trips!

Wildfolk is well-organized, thoughtful, highly communicative, and kid’s favorite camp to return to year after year. They offer Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer programs. Get Wild!

Description:

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. Since 1980 Steve & Kate’s Camp has trusted kids to choose their own activities and plan their own days in real-time. Whether campers are designing, building, coding, creating, baking, dancing, playing, eating, sewing, skipping—it’s all on their own schedule. Because when you empower children to make their own choices and be their own bosses, the children discover new reserves of confidence, resiliency, and creativity–all while learning to make course corrections and trust themselves as they go.

Families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. No weekly reservations or commitments required–just show up! If for any reason your plans change, they’ll automatically refund any unused Passes in full at summer’s end.

Ages: 4–12 | Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) included.
