Private Pods/Private Camps
Peninsula Forest and Beach School offers Private Nature Pods and Private Camps to groups who are looking to create their own private nature experience.
The Private Pod option is completely customizable. You get to choose the # of days, the hours and the location. Once you have a group of families who would like to create a private pod, we can start working on the details to get you set up.
We recommend group sizes of 4 -12 children. Our teacher ratio for private pods is 1:4. We have worked with groups with children as young as 2.5 years old, but usually start at age 3+. In general, we prefer to have at least 2 teachers for young children which requires a minimum of 4 to 5 children enrolled. Private Pods require a $250 set up fee.

Our Nature Mentor(s) will organize activities for your group of kids for 2 hours during your child’s birthday party! We do the planning for you so you don’t have to worry about how to keep the kids entertained.
Nature Birthday Party activities include age-appropriate games, a welcoming circle, story time, guided nature exploring activities, scavenger hunt, art projects, and face painting.
We recently celebrated Luca's 6 years old birthday with a nature-themed party with Peninsula Forest and Beach School, and it was an incredible experience! The kids engaged in a variety of outdoor activities, including climbing, playing in the creek, and learning about nature. Teacher Jean and her assistants guided the children through a fun and insightful adventure. The kids had an absolute blast and couldn't stop talking about how great the party was. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and memorable birthday celebration for their kids!
