July 7-11: Teamwork Makes the Streamwork Photo Gallery
Lots of water means lots of fun! The week was filled with new places to explore and challenges to overcome. We made a cool dam (and took it back down), climbed trees, and colors to find in the forest! No matter what we were working on, we did it together!
July 7-11: The Forest Frontier Photo Gallery
Water water everywhere! We’ve found new ways to play and brought back some classic fun! Building forts and playing games filled out mornings before we cool off with mud tattoos and sponge battles! We also loved seeing all the critters like newts and butterflies!
June 30-July 3: Backyard Bushcrafting with an Overnight Photo Gallery
A short week felt a bit longer when campers were able to stay overnight at camp! During the days, we learned skills that would help us if we were lost in the forest like navigating with compasses and plant identification, and how to roast the perfect smore. A twilight walk around the pond let us see a beaver before we tucked in our tents for the night.
June 30-July 3: Clover Photo Gallery
The Clover crew found lots of critters and crawlies this week! We found crawfish, spiders, and snakes as we splashed around in the creek! We also stopped for millipedes, butterflies and frogs along the trails. After our running and hiding games we rested our legs while whittling and making friendship bracelets.
July 7-11: Growth Ring Enthusiasts Group 2 Photo Gallery
Plant presses, whittled walking sticks, snake hunts, and fires, oh my! This week we explored the Growth Ring Categories: Fire, Plants, Snakes, and Whittling! We had so many opportunities to learn, grow, and achieve our goals. Of course, we made time for themed games and eating cake around the campfire, too.

July 7-11: Sprout Photo Gallery
We had a plant-tastic week of camp! We started off the week with a seed-sprouting experiment and we continued to learn and grow through other themed activities, like making native seed bombs, and painting with our hand-made nature paint brushes! We also played a game that helped us learn the life cycle of trees. Every day was full of fun and always ended with storytelling and calming activities. We went home dirty, tired, and happy!
