Our Philosophy
These four pillars guide every
Naturally Taught camp experience.
Naturally Taught provides outdoor learning opportunities that foster physical literacy and a deep connection with nature throughout the Kamloops area.
Nature Connection
We foster a profound relationship with the environment through daily time outdoors in all kinds of weather.
Physical Literacy
We cultivate a deep understanding of movement and physical skills through playful, active exploration.
Cooperation
We build strong community bonds through collaborative problem-solving and shared learning.
Student-Led
We empower children to lead their own learning journeys and make independent discoveries.
