Forest Explorers Camp (ages 6-10)

June 23-27 OR July 7-11
Campers can tap into their innate curiosity and wonder, as we explore the forest, learn new skills, all while building relationships with the wild ones who share the forest with us. We will play fun games, share stories, sing songs, make forest crafts, build a shelter, make fire & cook and do some wood-carving. Let’s explore, have some fun, learn skills and make new friends!

Forest Adventures (ages 9-12)

July 21-July 25 and/or July 28-Aug 1 (recommended for campers who have experienced EarthWalk or similar camps)
Campers will have many adventures in the forest, including: playing stealth games, exploring and deepening their naturalist knowledge of the land. Each day, campers can hone their outdoor skills, such as fire-by-friction, shelter-building, wood-carving, and using hand-tools for camp stewardship projects. Let’s take care of each other and the land, while having some wild forest adventures together!
