Listen! The summer night concert begins – crickets play violins, frogs beat drums, even fireflies come dancing with lanterns!

We invite you and your child to step into the springtime forest and explore the mysteries of nature together through stories, sensory experiences and making natural art crafts. We will share fantastic adventures in the forest with you, igniting curiosity for nature and fostering an appreciation for its beauty.

The summer-night forest is cloaked in starlight, while life hums softly in the dark. Together, we will trace cicadas’ molted shells and follow fireflies’ glowing trails, listening for frogs’ croons and moths’ fluttering wings, discovering the gentle yet vibrant beauty unique to midsummer nights.

This camp allows you to collectively experience the beauty of nature and build stronger parent-child connections during the activities. We welcome parents and children to participate in this adventurous and creative event, together receiving the gifts of nature!
