A Nature-Based Art Camp for Kids Ages 3–8 in Brooklyn, NY

Brooklyn Trails is an outdoor summer art camp for children ages 3–8 held in Prospect Park and designed for Brooklyn families seeking a creative, nurturing, and nature-immersive camp experience.

A Slower, Richer Summer

Our program prioritizes depth over busyness. Rather than fast-paced rotations, children engage in sustained creative work, collaborative storytelling, and exploratory park adventures that build independence and genuine connection. This process-rich, unhurried rhythm helps children feel grounded and fully present in the magic of summer.

Nature as Our Canvas

With Prospect Park as our classroom, Brooklyn Trails is a playful outdoor sanctuary where young artists explore creative expression, nature play, and environmental stewardship. Through open-ended art projects and daily nature adventures, children develop confidence, curiosity, and a lasting connection to the natural world.

Child-Led, Process-Based Learning

Each day blends open-ended art-making, imaginative storytelling, and outdoor exploration within a community rooted in kindness and cooperation. We honor big questions, creative problem-solving, and each child's unique learning style, making Brooklyn Trails summer camp an ideal fit for curious, imaginative kids who thrive in calm, collaborative environments.

Beyond Traditional Art Classes

Brooklyn Trails goes further than a typical kids' art class or summer camp. Days unfold at a gentle pace, with space for observation, pretend play, and creative work that often spans multiple sessions, letting children revisit ideas and experience the joy of process over product.
