Kids Yoga Summer Camp
Hosted at GeerCrest Farm near Salem, OR
A small-group experience for kids, near Salem, Oregon.
Hosted on the beautiful grounds of GeerCrest Farm in Salem, OR, this outdoor focused summer camp invites children to explore yoga, art, imaginative play, and nature-based adventures in a warm and supportive community.
Our days are filled with laughter, creativity, and meaningful connection. Through playful yoga, art projects, and mindful activities woven gently throughout the day, children build confidence, emotional awareness, and lasting friendships.
Spots are intentionally limited to create a nurturing and personal experience for every child. Especially those who might feel a little more overwhelmed by new spaces and friends.
Movement
Playful movement classes at the beginning of the day that are taught in an imaginative storytelling format. A fun way to increase coordination, body positivity, and exercise attention span.
Arts & Crafts
Explore nature-based art projects that are threaded with little practices to support social/emotional well-being and a connection to the land.
Creative Play
Letting imagination run wild outside is one of the most beautiful parts of childhood. Within this small group summer camp, children get the chance to stimulate their imagination of through nature filled free time as they create community with new friends.

Chantal Barton 'Sasquatch'
Yoga Camp Creator - Yoga Instructor - Head Camp Counselor
The joy of nature based play and the impact it had on my childhood was the inspiration for creating Kids Yoga Summer Camp. I have been hosting these camps since 2015 and they are the highlight of my summer! I lead a wonderful small team of people that all attended Kids Yoga Camps in their younger years and it inspired them to return as camp counselors.
I am certified through Dr. Amy King in a social emotional health practice called “Cards for Connection”, certified in Imagination Kids Yoga, a licensed 500hr Advanced Yoga Teacher, and a teacher for the Salem Keizer School District.

Leanna Cristobal
CAMP COUNSELOR
Leanna has attended Kids Yoga Summer Camp since she was 7 years old. If there was three camps in one summer, she was at every single one. The past two years she became a huge support as she is amazing with the youngest of our yogi campers. This is her first year with the official title of camp counselor as she is now 16 years old. We are so excited to have her join our team this year and look forward to discovering her camp counselor nickname.
