Trees and creeks! Bikes! Muddy confectionary! Arts and crafts! These are the hallmarks of summer. At Prickly Pears we enjoy all this and more! We make space for child-led exploration and uninterrupted play to foster independence, confidence, and inclusion.

Prickly Pears offers 2- and 3-day programs which can be combined for a 5-day schedule. Consistency and time are key for children to make meaningful relationships, settle into a rhythm, and grow. For that reason, we ask that you commit to at least 3 weeks of camp.

Learn to Ride Mondays! On Mondays we will be working on bike skills: riders will get comfortable balancing then work towards pedaling. Last Summer we had a 100% success rate with all campers learning to ride a pedal bike within 3 bike days! Is your child already a confident rider? Great! They will be paired with a less experienced rider to mentor, encourage, and support them!

NEW! Trail Days! On Wednesdays we will be exploring all that Carondelet Park has to offer on bikes, including paved and dirt trials!

Discounts available for siblings. We have space for up to 8-12 campers per day. Please note a $50 non-refundable deposit will be required. The remainder of the balance will be due June 1.
