White Pine Wilderness Academy

This place is truly life changing. The instructors here are top notch and very intentional. I doubt you'd find any other place similar in the state.

My son absolutely loves White Pine! He has attended Spring Break and Summer camps and always has a great time. As a parent I love that our kiddos can unplug from the digital world and connect with nature in a way that is both fun and educational. Matt, Nate, Paul, and the rest of the staff provide experiences you won't find elsewhere and are great with connecting with each kiddo individually. Cannot thank them enough for this opportunity!

Caring, educated experts lead kids on magical nature adventures and teach community values along the way; camp is a highlight of my kids’ summer each year.

I took a group of about 20 inner-city kids ages 10-17 on a day trip with White Pine. Although I would say that the majority of the group are not nature lovers, White Pine staff did a great job of keeping the kids engaged and interested. In the end, a good time was had by all. Their headquarters is an awesome place for the kids to let loose, climb, play, and take a turn on the rope swing.

We took our Cub Scout dens to White Pines Wilderness Academy to help satisfy several of our outdoor requirements. Matt taught firecrafting and Ms. Brandi did a session on herbs and foraging. It was great and the boys had a great time! I think many of the scouts are now considering summer camp at White Pines.
