Adventures with GaIA

Each day of Wonder Camp is a fantastic immersive adventure in which The Wonder Kids embark on a real and imaginative journey into the park completing creative missions that help them connect with nature, each other, and themselves.

We also invite excellent artists to share their forms of creative expression with the Wonder Kids. Poets, philosophers, musicians, visual artists and social innovators become real characters in our adventures, infusing portions of our journey with their wonder.

Gaia is the fantasy character of our adventures, and she invites us to go on a different journey each week. “Adventures with Gaia- Guardians of the Earth” is an original immersive story by School of Wonder designed to teach children about our planet while engaging them in a fictional narrative and imaginary world. Read more about it here.
