At Abundant Summers, we create a camp experience that gives children ages 2-13 a chance to explore & investigate their individual and collective interests — and just be kids! With a curriculum grounded in the values of Abundant Beginnings, we are a JOYFUL, inclusive, and liberatory community. We are committed to fostering a sense of mindfulness and responsibility in each child. Fundamentally, we believe that when the adults at Abundant Summers are guided by principles of justice and respect, then justice and respect become the guiding principles of our community.

Camp is its own tiny world, a radically inclusive community that we create together every day. Circle time, snack, and lunchtime shape the outline of the day. We circle up in smaller groups to foster connection, explore the topic of the week, and to ensure group facilitators reflect the identities & needs of our diverse campers. The rest of the day is decided by the children; they choose whether to participate in a structured activity like kickball, direct action planning, altar-making, etc. or choose to use the unstructured time to build, climb, read, or make art.
