This week in fall camp, things got a little creepy and crawly! Campers learned all about the living creatures that thrive in the fall here at West Point on the Eno. We played many insect and animal themed games, and even got to wear tails of our own during six feathers! Some major highlights this week were learning about what owls like to hunt by dissecting owl pellets, and having a “Dirt Cup” treat! Take a look at these photos to see some fall fun!
We would like to once more extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who joined us for our 30th anniversary event last month. There is no denying that Schoolhouse magic was in the air as over 400 people poured into the park to spend the evening hearing songs and tales from far and wide. The community table overflowed, and so did our hearts. We could not have asked for better weather, a better turnout, or a better group of people to help us celebrate this milestone.

This week our campers’ howls could be heard from far and wide as we played some famous Schoolhouse of Wonder games! We harnessed our wild sides to play games like Werewolf and Windigo that have themes and stories involving some animals and monsters of the forest. We had a blast making our own animal masks and trying out some new camp games as well. Along with pretending to be animals, we found many forest and river critters, like snakes, turtles, and even a praying mantis! We enjoyed the last of the warm weather by having lots of splash parties in the river. Take a look at some of our craziest moments from this exciting week of camp!
Campers truly accepted the challenge in this team building themed week! We had a blast working as a team to complete challenges that required communication, trust, and a great sense of humor as campers made their way through giant spider webs and portholes, a slackline course, ski shuffling, and a bamboo chute challenge. We also had a great week discovering creatures throughout the forest (including a rough green snake and salamanders) and finding creative ways to make nature art in the creek. Take a look at these photos to see some of our adventures!

From hula-hoop races to guiding your blind-folded partner, this group tried out a variety of team-building activities. Outside of team-oriented games, these campers also worked as a team to build forts. They all assigned each other jobs, including stick-transporters, builders, and decorators. Together, they created a well-built village. Check out these pictures to see some of their team-building feats!
