Donate to Schoolhouse of Wonder Before July 1 And Your Gift Will be Matched!

,

Last month, we were delighted to contact 100 families in Durham, Wake, and Orange counties to let them know we would be able to offer a scholarship to their child to attend camp at Schoolhouse of Wonder this summer.

And last month, 300 more hopeful families who applied for scholarships received notification that their children would not be able to participate in Schoolhouse this year.

Too many of the Triangle’s families — particularly those from underserved communities — have financial barriers that prevent them from benefitting from Schoolhouse programs. Without a camp scholarship, summers for these children and teens will be less about discovering, exploring, and learning in the outdoors, and more about sitting inside watching television, playing electronic games, and zoning out with social media.

Help us create more tired, dirty, and happy children across the Triangle.  Your tax-deductible gift of $300 — just $25 per month — would send a child or teen to Schoolhouse of Wonder for a week of discovering their best selves and developing a life-long connection to nature.

The timing couldn’t be better!

A Schoolhouse donor has stepped up and generously agreed to match, dollar for dollar, every gift made by July 1, 2019 up to $3,000. 

That means every gift you make between now and July 1 will be doubled — and make twice the impact on our ability to provide summer camp experiences to children and teens who need us.

It’s easy to make your gift online via our secure website.

Prefer to pay your gift out over time? Set up monthly payments – just click here or call our administrative office at (919) 477-2116.

Every child that cannot attend camp without your help is grateful to you for allowing them to experience a Schoolhouse summer!

With much gratitude,

Wendy Tonker
Executive Director

During Schoolhouse Of Wonders’ Accept the Challenge week campers did just that, and more! From the very first day of camp, participants found themselves presented with group challenges and team building activities that required good communication skills, cooperation and trust to successfully complete. Strategically moving objects, balancing on boards and trusting in peers to lead them through the forest blindfolded were just a few of the challenges our campers faced. As the week progressed, so did the degree of difficulty in the challenges presented. But it wasn’t all hard work! There was plenty of water time in the Eno and its surrounding waterways, and, of course, our signature Schoolhouse of Wonder forest games!

This week in Robin camp was fun-filled! We splashed in the creeks and river, we sang songs and played lots of games. Whether your kiddo was in the 3-day or the 5-day camp, we had a blast playing Sock Wars, Dragon’s Egg and Knee Coup. We enjoyed making our way to a few different water ways to splash and play when we weren’t in the forest. Here are just a few pictures of the week’s adventures in Robin camp.

The rainy days couldn’t stop our campers from being outside! This week may have been rainier than others but we managed to play games like Dragon’s Egg, Bum Bum Bum, and Sock Wars. We listened to lots of stories, sang songs, and made fantastic forts. One highlight of our time together was petting a long Black Rat Snake! Everyday we had water time in a new spot, exploring the creeks and Eno River. Check out a few of the pictures from our week in Otter camp.
