Umstead Before Time Photo Gallery
Campers learned fun facts about the history of Umstead State Park this week while also learning how plants and animals utilized this land before it even became a park! The group made sure to do some ‘hands-on learning’ by exploring what the park has to offer: everything from new base camps to the best creek spots.

During this program campers had many opportunities to get dirty and explore. They found natural deposits of clay and used it to make sculptures, dug in the dirt for bugs and signs of larger creatures, and trampled down the ground while running around playing camp games such as Werewolf.

This week the campers did a lot of exploring in a Kingfisher’s favorite place to be: near the water! They had a chance to visit multiple unique creek spots, learned to skip rocks, found countless crawfish, and played many fun games whenever they needed a break from the water. Fun times were had all around!

Growth Rings: Raise Your Skills Photo Gallery
We set out to grow this week – and we did in all kinds of ways! Not only did we learn new skills in whittling, fire building, plant identification, and snake handling, but we also made new friends, competed in silly splash fights, and explored the world around us in new ways.

We took our projectile skills to the next level and zeroed in on getting that perfect shot! We learned how to use the whole spectrum of Schoolhouse projectiles including the atlatl and bows and arrows with a focus on hitting the mark. We practiced honing in our aim and as we worked to connect body and mind. This camp was a bullseye!

Campers unleashed their imagination with a week of original, brand new, never-been-seen-before games created by our campers! Using some of our Schoolhouse classic games like Werewolf and Six Feathers as inspiration, campers used their creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork to invent some brand new games. Communication, ingenuity, and a great sense of humor were used to create, play, and improve camper-invented games. Campers also had a chance to use and make game supplies and props.
