Solve a hidden puzzle and discover the incredible tiny creatures living all around us.
Day Two
Birds
Follow a trail of feathers, reveal the day’s mystery, and learn what makes birds so remarkable.
Day Three
Trees
Find the missing half of a tree and uncover the surprising stories hidden in trunks, roots, and leaves.

Go on a hunt around the home to find sources of water, and explore how water gets into your home and where it comes from!
Day Five
Rocks
Race from clue to clue and discover how rocks, mountains, and even earthquakes are connected.
Day Six
Weather
Become a Weather Detective and investigate the clouds, rain, wind, and changing sky outside.
Final Day
The Night Sky

Everything is thoughtfully laid out
Big adventures. Small setup.
Curious Camp gives you the structure to make the week feel special while keeping the parent side simple and manageable.
3+ hours of audio
Josh leads every discovery, question, pause, and transition so children always know what to do next.
20+ pages of activities
Scavenger hunts, clue pieces, observation sheets, creative activities, and Curious Journal moments bring each topic to life.
An in-depth Parent Guide
Every hidden item and daily surprise is mapped out clearly, with no more than 10 minutes of setup each day. We know how overwhelming this stuff can be! We’ve spent time ensuring it’s as easy to follow as possible.
Seven end-of-day quizzes
Each day concludes with a quiz that revisits the biggest ideas and reinforces what children learned during the adventure.
How Curious Camp works
You set the scene. Josh leads the adventure.
The Parent Guide tells you exactly what to place, hide, or print before your kids begin. Once the day begins, the audio carries the experience forward.

Follow that day’s short setup instructions.
- 2

Josh welcomes the kids and reveals the next mystery.
- 3
Explore and create
Children hunt, listen, color, glue, observe, and draw.
- 4
Review and build the Curious Journal
Finish with a daily quiz, then add a new memory to the week’s Curious Journal.
Included in every Curious Camp
Activity sheets turn listening into doing.
Each day, kids will find a new set of activity sheets waiting inside their Curious Container. They can color, trace, solve puzzles, match pictures, and complete other hands-on activities while listening to that day’s audio.
These pages are completely optional. Kids can work on every activity, choose only their favorites, or save some for later. They’re simply another fun way to keep curious hands busy while the adventure unfolds.
Created for curious kids—and busy grown-ups
The magic is in the surprise, not in hours of preparation.
Curious Camp is designed to feel immersive for children while remaining realistic for parents. Gather a few familiar supplies, follow the clearly labeled instructions, and let Josh take it from there.
A note from Josh
I’ve never seen an audio experience like this done before, and I knew my kids would love it. I hope your kids love it too!
I know how easy it is to get stuck in front of the TV in the summer. I hope Curious Camp encourages some screen-free time and gives your family some lasting memories.
We put a lot of love and passion into this project. I know you’ll love it!
—Josh, Host of Curious Kids Every Day (and Curious Camp!)

How much setup is required each day?
No more than 10 minutes. The Parent Guide clearly explains what to print, cut, place, or hide before each day begins. Believe me, we know these kinds of things can be overwhelming! We’ve made each day as easy to follow as possible. Everything is laid out clearly.
What kinds of activities are included?
Children complete scavenger hunts, solve clues and puzzles, make observations, color, glue, draw, and build a Curious Journal throughout the week.

Are Curious Kids Every Day episodes included?
Yes. Each day includes excerpts from relevant episodes of Curious Kids Every Day to enhance the learning. The excerpts are woven seamlessly into each day where appropriate. For example, on Day 1, since we’re talking about bugs, a relevant portion of the episode “How Do Ants Find Food?” plays.
How will Curious Camp be delivered?
Curious Camp is a 100% digital download. The activity sheets and Parent Guide are delivered as PDF files, and the audio is delivered as MP3 files.
What age range is Curious Camp aimed for?
Curious Camp is aimed at the same age range as Curious Kids Every Day. If your child enjoys the podcast, they’ll feel right at home with Curious Camp! With that said, the activity sheets require some reading, and younger kids will need some guidance! You can preview the activity sheets here on this page.
How much time does each day take?
The audio for each day lasts around 30 minutes, but that does not include pauses to work on the activities. Plan to budget about an hour per day.
Do we need to start or finish Curious Camp on a certain date?
No! Curious Camp is completely self-paced. You can start whenever you want and complete the seven adventures on consecutive days, spread them across several weeks, or follow whatever schedule works best for your family.
Is it REALLY self-paced?
Yes. You can start Curious Camp as soon as you purchase and be done in a week, or you can do one day per week, or you can do it next year… it’s up to you. It’s ready for you whenever you want to do it!
The only caveat is that for those who purchase Curious Camp Personalized, the deadline to submit your Curious Journal in order to received a personalized message from Josh is September 15, 2026.
Will this work with my YOTO?
Absolutely! In fact, you will find MP3s specifically optimized for YOTO devices included. We love YOTO!
Can I get a refund?
Due to the nature of digital downloads, no refunds will be granted. You can listen to Day 1 in its entirety on this page to ensure that Curious Camp will be a good fit for your family!
