Discovery Southeast Outdoor Explorers Summer Camp

At Discovery Southeast, the Outdoor Explorers summer camp invites children from 4 to 14 years to engage in immersive, nature-based learning experiences. Over the course of a week, campers enjoy a blend of structured science lessons and open-ended exploration in the rich natural landscapes near Juneau. The camp uses an inquiry-led approach to cultivate a sense of wonder about the environment, wildlife, and ecosystems of Southeast Alaska. Experienced staff members support participants in activities that build outdoor skills and environmental knowledge, while unstructured time allows for free play and creativity. The program’s small group format ensures each child receives individual guidance and safe, meaningful interactions with nature. Funded by the U.S. Forest Service and local government, the camp helps children develop confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong connection to the natural world.
