Heartsong Summer Adventure Program
A place for kids to be KIDS!
While Heartsong Learning Collective children attend year-round, summer camp is a special season when we open our gates to the wider community for a playful, nature-rich summer experience.
Our summer camp is for children ages 4–10 and takes place at the Heartsong Center, just 20 minutes east of Bellingham. With five open acres of fields, forest, gardens, and wild spaces, children have the freedom to move, imagine, explore, and simply be.

Our Approach
-
Child-led and play-based
-
Nature-immersed and movement-rich
-
Emotionally and physically safe
-
Inclusive, welcoming, and community-centered
We follow the interests and energy of the group, allowing each child to explore at their own pace while building confidence, friendships, and a deep connection to the natural world.
Space is intentionally limited to maintain a warm, supportive environment where every child feels seen, valued, and free to be their full self.
✨ Please pre-register — spots fill quickly.
We can’t wait to spend the summer playing, creating, singing, dancing, and growing together.

Additional Information
Food and What to Bring:
To ensure your child's well-being throughout the day, we kindly request that you pack their lunch with wholesome foods low in sugar, as we usually harvest lots of fruit in the summer, and a water bottle. They usually eat more than you think they will, so pack extra. We occasionally provide extra snacks during the day with food allergies in consideration.
*We are a PEANUT FREE environment due to allergies. Thank you for helping keep our kiddos safe.
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather including hats, sunscreen, swim wear and extra layers. While we have shelter options if necessary, we will be mostly outdoors. Your child can store extra clothing or weather-specific attire in their backpack.
When sending items with your child, like toys, please be mindful they will not be distracting. We ask that no weapons or toys that may instigate conflict be brought. We cannot take responsibility for items that may get broken or misplaced during our activities. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
