This group of campers were excellent plant identifiers especially by Friday! They also built a lean to, did some map-reading, whittled, tried their hand at flint and steel, built a fire, and learned what to do in a few survival worst case scenarios. In addition to survival skills the group brushed up on their tree climbing skills and played an epic survival version of scout mission. It was a great way to end our 2016 at Umstead, thank you for an awesome week.

This group was CRAZY CREATIVE! They were the perfect group to have for a Choose Your Own Adventure camp. Not only did they make interesting decisions and add innovative details to the story, but they were amazing fort architects and talented whittlers. The group enjoyed the abnormally warm temperatures, but still managed to locate a lot of unique fall mushrooms.

This fall’s Woodland Archer Camp was a high-flying adventure! We practiced our archery skills at our forest range by shooting at some pretty fun targets, such as balloons and swinging bags. We also made time to play some games, tell stories, explore the woods of the Eno, and search for critters. We hope you enjoy these fun pictures from this 2-day camp.

We had a great time in camp this week. We enjoyed the beautiful fall weather while carving pumpkins and cooking pumpkin seeds over the fire. We painted pumpkins to take home as well! We assisted in a service project this week, too. We helped clean up from Matthew and we  worked in the garden where we found a box turtle! We told plenty of spooky and silly stories, learned how to use flint and steel, dressed up in costumes, and did a lot of fall nature art and fort building. By far the favorite moment was finding the Barred Owl!
