Summer Explorers

Explore, Learn, Play All Summer

Place-Based Exploration

Children in Summer Explorers engage in hands-on, experiential learning rooted in the natural environment and community of the Bitterroot Valley. Outdoor exploration is central: children hike trails, observe wildlife, create with natural materials, and play outdoors, while exploring science, math, literacy, and social-emotional skills. Educators guide these experiences with a balance of structure and flexibility, letting children’s interests lead the way.

Last Summer's Weekly Camp Theme

BELN sees summer not as a pause in learning, but as a season for exploration, movement, and discovery. Each camp theme celebrates the joys of being outdoors while reflecting BELN’s belief that learning happens everywhere and that children thrive when care and education are intentionally integrated into the curriculum.
