Summer Camps at A Wild Home
Our Summer Camps are outdoor learning experiences where children spend the day building skills and friendships, creating projects, exploring our diverse classroom, and enjoying meaningful play in a welcoming community setting. Each week features a unique hands-on theme, with campers taking home projects and memories from their time here.
Located in Downtown Brooksville, our camps blend practical skills, creativity, movement, and connection in a one-of-a-kind outdoor classroom designed for children to learn by doing.

Rooted in Experience, Guided by Purpose
Our program founder has spent over a decade creating meaningful experiences for children and families, with a clear mission to:
Cultivate Community
Celebrate Curiosity
Nurture Wonder with Nature
This is not childcare dressed up as camp. It is intentional, experience-led programming designed to help children grow in confidence, connection, creativity, and real-world skills.
Campers spend their days outdoors, learning practical skills, building confidence, solving problems, and making genuine connections.
