Simple, grounded, much needed outdoor time meets expert naturalist instruction and social/emotional attention. We spend the day exploring the creeks and hillsides of our beautiful area and form relationships with each other, the land and the plants and animals.

Our core curriculum guides us as we learn earth skills that were once a way of life and now too rare. We play, listen, laugh, sing, hike and come back a bit dirtier than we left to share the stories of the day.

This is not just outdoor play time, though that by itself would be powerful. This is a unique opportunity to learn about our natural world together, expand our awareness and build a caretaking ethic that will lead us into the hopeful future.



My son is flourishing in a way I’d really only ever dreamed could be possible for him, and I owe so so much of that to Vilda. In addition to my feeling that children in our society are, generally, suffering from Nature-Deficit Disorder, I also just know that for my son, particularly, it is so important to be in the natural world. It’s where he feels confident and competent and inspired. Not to mention, I love that he has all of you instructors serving as examples to him. I’ve always thought that seeing people in the world you could meaningfully relate to is one of the most empowering things for a child. I really believe we’ve found that with you. So, thank you!
— Parent of Vilda student

With our very varied economical situations in the Bay Area, families have differing abilities to pay. We want our programs to serve as many children as possible regardless of financial situation.

Rate A - represents the actual cost of running a program in this area and is comparable with the rates of several local specialty camps. It funds our long-term goals and work.

Rate B - covers our basic costs for running this particular program, but it does not cover our organizational costs.

Rate C - does not cover the cost of program and is subsidized by Rate A and donations.

Scholarships are available.  Contact us for more information. With a charter school? Click here.
