Wild Huts Photo Gallery ( 3/27/17-3/31/17)

,

This week in camp, we worked on building two amazingly innovative and well built huts as a group! We had incredible weather this week, too! (except that silly storm that messed with our family circle) We saw lots and lots of animals, and favorites included a marbled salamander, several snakes, and a whole lot of tent caterpillars. We made huge strides in our adopted garden on Monday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming season as well. The campers played several games, but fire keeper was their favorite! The teamwork was magical this week and just what we needed to construct some wild huts! We hope you enjoy these pictures!

Join us this Saturday for the Brumley Forest Grand Opening!

 


Join us this weekend for the Grand Opening of Brumley Forest, our Orange County location. On Earth Day 2017, Triangle Land Conservancy opens its 7th nature preserve to the public! Bring your friends and family to the George and Julia Brumley Family Nature Preserve for a free day of led hikes, runs, mountain biking tutorials, guided trail rides, nature adventures, kids activities, yoga, and more to celebrate all the ways Triangle residents can use this new resource. Visit with TLC Partners and enjoy ice cream, food trucks, and local beer while testing your luck with raffles and contests for outdoor gear and experiences.

Schoolhouse is excited to be involved both as a partner, exhibitor, and program provider. Stop by and see us in the exhibitor area (by the food trucks!) or join us for one of our activities. No RSVP required. If you’ve been to Brumley before, parking will be located at the public entrance (not the Schoolhouse gate).

  • 10 am – Forest Fort Building 

    We’ll fuel our creativity with the beauty of the world around us including homes and structures constructed by forest wildlife. We’ll use natural materials, imagination and ingenuity to create our own masterpieces.

  • 1 pm – Whittling for Beginners 

    Stop by and learn some basic whittling skills and leave having created something out of wood. Whether you’ve whittled before or not, we’ll help you get safely get started. Peelers provided, for ages 5 and up.

  • 2 pm – Game On!

    Come out and explore and try some forest games – sneaky hiding games, loud running games, field games, or forest games! Finally, play some of the games your child has been talking about!

Learn more about the day and see the full schedule of the day’s activities here.

Wilderness Survival Photo Gallery (4/3/17-4/7/17)

,

We all survived this adventurous week of wilderness fun! During this camp we spent each day undertaking a new survival task – finding water, building shelters, searching for forest food, and trying our hand at primitive fire-making. When we weren’t busy surviving, we had time for plenty of games, stories, and water time. We hope you enjoy these fun pictures from Wilderness Survival Camp.

 

2017 Parent Orientations

As the weather warms up and days get longer, we know summer is getting closer. And that means our summer camp season is getting closer too! 

We understand there can be some questions and wonderings about sending your child to camp. How does water time work? What does a day look like? What kinds of activities do they do? What is a Windigo? We want parents to come to camp on their first morning drop off feeling prepared, excited, and in the know. We’d like to invite you to one of our parent orientations – come meet our staff, get your questions answered, meet other camp families, and leave feeling prepared for Schoolhouse camps. We’ll also have staff available with some small games, whittling, and storytelling for kids.

We’ll be holding six parent orientations around the Triangle this spring and we’d love to see you there! Although you certainly don’t have to attend an orientation at the same site your child is attending, we do recommend it so you can meet your child’s staff, get site-specific answers, and check out the location. In the meantime, check out our Parent Handbook.

If you’re interested in coming to a parent orientation, please RSVP by email so we can plan accordingly.

Parent Orientations

If you have any questions, please email us (schoolhouse@schoolhouseofwonder.org) or call us at 919-477-2116. Hope to see you there!
