SUMMER CAMPS

Camp registration will go live Saturday, February 17th at 10 am. We will send out registration directions and tips to our mailing list, so be sure to add yourself if you haven’t done so already.

Our camps are based on the grade students are going into in fall 2024. So, please sign your child up for the grade they are entering in the fall.

Camps fill quickly! If a camp is full, be sure to add your child to the waitlist. Waitlists help us determine which camps need additional sessions (we’ll be opening second sessions for particularly long waitlists as our capacity allows).

To increase the number of children able to attend MOSS camps, registration is limited to 5 camps per child per summer. See cancellation policies below for more information.

Immediately following registration, you will receive a confirmation email from Active. 1-2 weeks before the start of the camp, you will receive an email with additional information from the Program Director. Be sure to check your junk mail in case the emails get filtered there.

We are thrilled to announce our summer 2024 camp locations! Our first three weeks of camp (June 10 - June 28) will take place at the Bridger Bowl ski area. The remainder of the summer (July 1 - August 23) will be based out of the Bear Canyon ski area by the Bear Canyon trailhead. Both of these locations offer incredible access to woods, wetlands, and other natural wonders that will enhance your child’s camp experience!

We want these two locations to be as accessible as possible for MOSS families, and are finalizing the details of optional transportation to and from a central location in Bozeman. We will update this page with details on this transportation option in the coming weeks.

All of our camps run from 8:30 am - 3:00 pm. Our kindergarten camps are Tuesday-Thursday and all other camps are Monday-Friday.

We will run a shortened week of camp (July 1st-3rd) during the week of July 4th.

Save yourself the trip! MOSS is offering an optional shuttle for students enrolled in camps that take place at the Bridger Bowl (June 10th - June 28th). Drop-off for the shuttle is at Headwaters Academy in Bozeman. Drop your child off between 7:45 and 7:55 each morning, and we will shuttle them up to camp at the Bridger Bowl in the MOSS vans. At the end of the day, students will be driven back to Headwaters Academy for pick-up between 3:30 and 3:45. Our vans are driven by trained MOSS staff.

You can purchase this shuttle for individual days ($10 per day) or for the entire week at a discount ($40 for the week). Both options include the morning and afternoon shuttle each day.

Register for the shuttle at the “Register Here” button above. Act quickly - spots are limited!

After a packed day of learning and exploring, you can choose to sign your child up for our After-Camp Care program! Students can expect to build insect homes, work on their camp creations, play games, do arts and crafts, and much more. After-Camp Care runs daily from 3:00 - 5:30 pm and costs $30 per afternoon.

Our goal is to make MOSS’s unique and memorable programming available to everyone, no matter background or means. The MOSS Scholarship Fund allows us to offer our camp experiences to students that would not otherwise be able to participate.

Scholarships are need-based. Due to limited funds, scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. To apply for a scholarship, please submit the form on the scholarships page (found under the “Programs” header).
