Schoolhouse camps provide a great opportunity for children to connect with nature through creative play! Campers let their imaginations take over, working together to build a forest village of their own design and ingenuity. We created as many different kinds of structures as we could, using only the natural materials available to us. In our summer village, everyone had a role to play. When weren’t busy with construction, we would tell stories around the village square, played games, took hikes, and discovered new adventures to be had at the Eno.

Can you be still enough to have a dragonfly land on you? Campers tested it out this week! Campers also tried to make underwater viewers to see what swims/floats by underwater. For those above water, we tried our hand at catching fish and bugs with nets.

Brainstorming? Try Gamestorming! Campers unleashed their imagination with a week of original games. This camp was all about using creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork to invent some brand-new games. Communication, ingenuity, and a great sense of humor were required as we created, played, and improved camper-invented games. Campers also had a chance to use and make game supplies and props.

As campers crawled through the week, they engaged in fun games like Camouflage, Dragon’s Egg, and more!
