Camp Tule

Camp Tule is a nature-based day camp where children are given space to nurture their creativity and spend time exploring and playing in nature. Each new day is filled with exciting discoveries like “catching” animal footprints in track boxes that the children make, spotting barn owls, egret, deer, jackrabbit, kingfisher, and red-tailed hawk, and playing lots of nature games that teach ecological concepts. Our nature-themed art projects are always a special highlight each week. And, what would an adventure day be without climbing trees? We do that, too!
At Camp Tule, we aim to foster wonder and delight in the world we live in.

Children attending Camp Tule learn about the native plants and animals of the Laguna de Santa Rosa ecosystem in a supportive, playful, and encouraging environment.

Camp Tule Staff

We hire enthusiastic youth and young adults to serve as Naturalist field instructors and Camp Counselors. Our staff include Spanish speaking adults and teens, ensuring a welcoming environment for all campers. Camp Tule also recruits youth who want to gain leadership experience by volunteering at camp as Counselors-in-Training. Naturalists, Counselors, and Counselors-in-Training round out our education department staff, along with some of our skilled, knowledgeable, and dedicated Learning Laguna docents.

A few notes about registration…
We acknowledge that our website is not mobile friendly, and apologize for the inconvenience. We highly recommend registering for Camp Tule on a desktop or laptop computer.

Registration requires setting up an account with Enrichment.kids. Please have your camper’s health and medical information on hand, along with the phone numbers for the emergency contacts and the names of those authorized to pick the child up from camp. The process takes approximately 15 - 20 minutes and includes completing the health and safety forms, and signing the liability and media release forms.

After creating an account, you can save your progress and return to the registration process. However, a spot in the camp is only guaranteed once the registration process is complete. You have 30 minutes to check out, once you put your camp selection in the cart.

Scholarships: There will be a new process for 2025. Families will be able to apply for a scholarship in advance of registration via an online form. Based on your responses on the scholarship application, you may be given a scholarship for part or most of the tuition. You will also have the option to pay for Camp in installments. We recommend submitting the scholarship application well in advance of the opening of registration on February 15, 2025. The online scholarship application will be available here by December 2, 2024.
