This is a wonderful place for kids to go and learn to love being outside! Staff is incredible and energetic. Sometimes the kids get to see a red winged black bird up close, and even pet it!

Thorne Nature Experience runs super fun and educational outdoor programs for kids. I highly recommend Thorne to any parent!
Beware of false advertising. Counselors are exhausted, over-burdened and under-trained with no resources to provide respite from hot weather. Minecraft-Unplugged camp did not follow the game. Management assigns counselors to camp and teaching materials, without any experience playing the game nor ability to recognize native plants and materials.
Surprisingly beautiful, unexpected. Lovely for exploring with kids, indoors and outdoors. They are open to the public at certain times, check the website. Exploring kits are available.
Thorne Nature Experience runs the best summer camps in Boulder County! Such experienced, patient counselors, engaging and fun curriculum, and my kids learned SO MUCH! I encourage these camps to anyone and everyone!
My kids LOVE Thorne. We first heard about Thorne through the parent and child nature walks which were really fun and engaging. As soon as they were old enough my kids started going to Thorne summer camps and loving them. I think my daughter's favorite is Magical Images and my son's top choice is Mud Mucking but they have both had a great time at each camp they have done. The counselors have all been fantastic, really knowledgable, engaging and fun and I was really impressed by how organized and well run the camps are. I really felt safe dropping off my children each day knowing they were going to be in capable hands and having a blast. I also love that Thorne brings their programming into schools during the school year to help connect all kids to nature and that my kids having an amazing time at summer camp helps to make that happen!
We love Thorne Nature Camp! They have great communication, a thoughtful mission and are always well-staffed. We appreciate you, Thorne Nature Camp!
