Our Activities Include
The best way to learn about a new environment is with your own two feet!
How many bodies of water can you dunk your head in during the week?
We encourage our campers to bring their own pocket knife and teach them how to use it creatively and safely.
Bring your own or use ours. We'll teach you how to do it efficiently and safely.
Learn how to calm your mind and hit the bullseye!
Sometimes matches and lighters are too easy. Learn how to start a fire with flint and steel, or even a bow drill.
We have a campfire every night that is built and maintained by our campers.
The work of the fire building crew will pay off. Each night we gather around the campfire to sing songs and have dessert, which sometimes involves s'mores!
Each day has a window for arts and crafts. Campers have a choice from which avenue they'd like to express their creativity
We have beads, strings, clasps, tools, and whatever else you need to make necklaces, bracelets, and even earings!
Learn how to use saws, vices, files, and sandpaper. Bring home your unique wood-art! From walking sticks to small sculptures.
Once you are well practiced with our tools, attempt to make a ring out of local wood!
Wherever we go we bring our bare-books and art supplies. Capture the beauty of nature through watercolor painting, inspired by the landscapes and wildlife around camp.
Discover the art of printmaking by carving designs into linoleum blocks and creating your own prints to share.
Design and create your own custom camp t-shirt using stamps, fabric paint, your own linoleum cut, and other creative techniques.
FOOD
Food is an important part of camping. It gives us the fuel for our activity-filled week. When staff and campers eat the same meals, you know the meals are going to be great. We use healthy and often organic ingredients. Our campers help cook, serve, and even clean (see the FAQ page if you want to know why).
Learn essential cooking skills while helping prepare delicious, healthy meals for the entire camp community.
Our meals are kid friendly, and are made with healthy and often organic ingredients. Campers always come for seconds!
For reasons of independence and food safety, campers clean their own dishes. The staff help the daily cleaning crew clean general areas and pots and pans.
When all the cleaning is done we sit by the fire and have our desserts. These rotate between home-made treats, Oreos, and s'mores. On hot days we may even get ice cream!
