Tadpole Photo Gallery

,

Our Tadpole campers had a swimmingly good time this week! We learned about the rules of whittling and got to practice throughout the week. We went on a bug hunt and learned a little bit about nature’s camouflage by looking at and for bugs. We played games like Werewolf and Beckon. We took time each day to cool off and splash around in the creek. We looked for critters and skipped stones. It was an exciting and adventurous week! Take a look at the photos below to catch a small glimpse of our big week.

Hide and Seek: The Art or Camouflage Photo Gallery

It’s a log! It’s a leaf pile! It’s a Schoolhouse of Wonder camper! Our campers really embraced the camouflage spirit this week. Whether learning to disguise and hide themselves or noticing the camouflage of critters of the forest, our theme was everywhere this week. We used our hide-and-seek skills in games of all kinds-blending right into the natural world around us. We also stretched our creative muscles with elaborate fort-building and arts & crafts. Check out the photos below and find us if you can!

Campfire Cooking Photo Gallery

, ,

We couldn’t have picked a better theme for our cool fall weather than Campfire Cooking! Campers learned all about fire building, practiced constructing ‘log cabin’ and ‘teepee’ style fires, and then we built one together to cook on. Fires aren’t the only part of cooking though. Campers practiced knife skills chopping potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, green peppers, and zucchini for our ‘hobo packets’ that we roasted over the fire. Even on a rainy and cool Friday, we tried our hand at ‘chocolate cake pancakes’ over a camp stove. Crafts like monster masks, corn husk creations, and wooden snakes were nice when we needed a break from the fire. When we weren’t cooking, campers tried their hand at whittling, hiking to areas like the Boneyard, and playing games like Beckon, Park Ranger, and Bum Bum Bum. Check out the photos below to get a glimpse into our fun camp!

 

 

Old Timey Adventures Photo Gallery

If you snacked on doughboys, learned to play marbles and horseshoes, went canoeing and fishing, you might have been a camper at Old Timey Adventures camp! We had a blast out at Harris Lake County Park this week enjoying all things old timey. We played games, sang songs, and heard stories all rooted in the days of yore. Of course, no week at Schoolhouse would be complete without plenty of forest and field games. Check out the photos below to see the throwback fun!

Monster Photo Gallery

Although Hurricane Michael shortened our week a bit, we still made the most of our time together! During Monster camp we played lots of different games like Six Feathers, Giants-Wizards-Elves, and a new game, which the campers named Witch’s Broom. Along with playing games, we told stories, and made monster costumes and masks. The week culminated in a monster parade for our friends and families on Friday. Here are a few photos from our week, we hope you enjoy! 

 

Outdoor Survival Skills Photo Gallery

,

We had a thrilling and adventurous week out at Umstead State Park. We learned about many different aspects of outdoor survival. We touched on everything from fire-building to shelter-building to learning to prepare a fresh-caught fish. We learned the basics of first-aid and what to do in the event of an outdoor emergency. Of course, we took some time each day to play some classic Schoolhouse games like Werewolf and to listen to stories. Take a look at the pictures below to see some of the fun!
