CAMP WILDCRAFT
At Camp Wildcraft, we grow creative, curious, confident and caring kids who feel at home in nature. Set in a tree-filled, 12-acre conservation center at Headwaters Corner at Calabasas, we empower kids to discover the hidden natural world—and their hidden strengths. In our immersive weekly program, campers build friendships and forts, find animal tracks, identify plants, turn leaves into paper, sculpt with clay harvested from the local hills, find 12-million- year-old fossils in Topanga, create a museum of found objects and feel joy and wonder daily.
Serving families in Calabasas, Conejo Valley, the West San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas, there are seven weekly sessions June 13th to July 29th for children ages 6-12. Camp hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with extended hours. Camp Wildcraft is a collaboration with Mountains Restoration Trust and is located at 23075 Mulholland Hwy., Calabasas.
