Camp Hudson for Kindergarteners & 1st Graders

CAMP HUDSON is an amazing summer day camp for grades K-5. Children split their days Tinkering Outdoors, Making Indoors, and Connecting with Nature. With the freedom to fail, the time to persevere, and constraints to breed creativity and foster problem-solving, kids learn to trust themselves and their curiosity at Camp Hudson.

TINKERING: In the spirit of Gever Tully’s Tinkering School in San Francisco, we work on large scale, collaborative group projects where kids ideate, design, and build an ambitious tinkering project that captures the excitement and fun of invention.

MAKING: An indoor maker space give kids a choice among tech and tactile activities like art, computational thinking, circuitry, storytelling, reading, robotics and more.

CONNECTING WITH NATURE: We take full advantage of Andrus on Hudson’s 26 acres and connect with the environment through immersive exploration. We explore the wooded groves, play games in the open fields, and get down and dirty in the garden where we learn about food and sustainability.

This summer at Camp Hudson we're focusing even more on process over end product. Except for our final week, we're extending our sessions from one week to two weeks to give campers more time to dive deep, design, build and reiterate as a team.
