The Evolution of Adventure: What’s New for R.A.D. Camps in Summer 2026

Jan 21

Summer 2026 expands the ways families can choose a R.A.D. experience. The lineup now includes a gentle preschool camp, flexible day programs, creative full-week options, outdoor specialty camps, overnights, and select-date pickup choices.

Whether you are a Central Oregon family building a flexible summer schedule or a visitor looking for one camp day, the 2026 lineup gives you more ways to choose by age, interest, day length, and published pickup location.

Start with the Camp Chooser, then use the selected program page and ACTIVE registration as the current source for dates, options, and checkout details.

R.A.D. NEST: Nature-Based Preschool Summer Camp

R.A.D. NEST is a gentle introduction to camp for ages 3–4, combining the familiar Seven Peaks School campus with outdoor discovery at Skyliners Park. Campers explore through sensory play, nature walks, creative projects, and a predictable small-group rhythm.

• Flexible dates: Choose Half Day, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, for $69 or Full Day, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM, for $105.

• Full-week value: Add all five dates from the same week for the same camper in one order and save $50.

• Readiness: Campers must be fully toilet independent, able to separate and settle, follow simple safety directions, and participate in a group day without one-to-one support.

• Care: Pre-care from 7:45 AM is available with Half Day or Full Day. Aftercare through 5:30 PM is available only with Full Day. Select care for each date during registration.
