Where the Classroom Meets the Canopy

in Partnership with Little Roots.

Welcome to the community home of outdoor adventure and discovery at the Fairhope Organic School. The information below details our Summer Camp and Afterschool programs, which are hosted on our beautiful, forested campus in partnership with Little Roots, Big Adventures. Designed to bring the “Organic” philosophy to life through immersive nature-based learning, these programs invite youth from across the community to trade the classroom for the canopy. Whether your child is exploring coastal ecosystems in our summer sessions or spending their afternoons building forts, foraging, and engaging in outdoor exploration during the afterschool program, every experience is rooted in curiosity and a deep connection to the natural world.

Adventure Awaits Under the Canopy

Little Roots is excited to offer a holistic summer experience where education, adventure, and pure enjoyment intertwine. Held on the beautiful, historic Fairhope Organic School campus, our camps focus on exploring native plants, coastal ecosystems, and wild spaces.

Every week at camp is an opportunity to grow. Campers are grouped by age to ensure the activities—from mud kitchens to land stewardship—are perfectly tailored to their developmental stage. Activities: Weekly field trips, fort building, nature crafts, yoga and mindfulness sessions, and old-fashioned outdoor play.

Cost: $250 per week

Ages: 3–15 (grouped by age)
