Give your child a spring break filled with fresh air, hands-on learning, and unforgettable experiences in nature. From March 31 to April 3, the Alice Ferguson Foundation invites campers ages 4–12 to spend their week exploring the outdoors, building confidence, and discovering the natural world on our historic riverside campus.

Rooted in the same mission and approach as our beloved summer camps, Spring Break Camp blends environmental education with outdoor exploration. Guided by our experienced educators, campers learn through real-world experiences—meeting farm animals, hiking forest trails, investigating the wetlands, and connecting with the land and water that surrounds this beautiful property.

With three age-based groups, each child is supported with activities that match their curiosity and developmental stage. Every day offers opportunities for problem-solving, teamwork, friendship, and the joy of being fully immersed in the outdoors—away from screens and surrounded by nature.


Why Families Choose Our Spring Break Camps

Parents trust our Spring Break Camps to provide a safe, enriching alternative to screen time—where experienced educators guide children through real-world discoveries across our farm, forests, and wetlands.


  1. Hands-on environmental education rooted in real-world discovery
  2. Screen-free environment that encourages teamwork and friendships
  3. Historic riverside campus full of wildlife, wonder, and learning
  4. Age-based groups for meaningful, developmentally aligned experiences
  5. Experienced educators lead all groups, nurturing curiosity and confidence
