June 2-6: Leap Photo Gallery
We leaped into summer in this fun, silly week full of all things that jump! We hopped like rabbits, leaped like frogs, and searched the forest for all kinds of jumping creatures. We had a great time playing games, splashing in the creek, and searching the forest for all kinds of treasures.
May 27-30: Beaver Photo Gallery
This fun-filled week was a wonderful introduction to experiencing the outdoors. Beavers are the engineers of nature and this week campers had the chance to be just like them as they played in the forest and river! Campers built and crafted things out of wood this week, just like a beaver.
May 27-30: Schoolhouse Games Bonanza Photo gallery
This week was all about games! Whether a quiet strategy game or a loud, rambunctious one, campers had a chance to play some classic Schoolhouse games and make up some brand new ones. We ran, sneaked, and hid as we explored what makes a game a favorite.

Much fun was had as campers explored the wonderful woods of Umstead in search of sticks to use for all sorts of activities! They used them to practice fire building, whittle walking sticks, create fantasy friends, and look underneath them in the hopes of seeing cool bugs. By the end of the week, campers used this practice to earn countless Growth Rings as they advanced their skills.
Channel Your Inner Mammal photo gallery
For campers that have ever wondered about how wolves use teamwork or how bats navigate at night, this was the camp for them! We got to know all about the mammals of the forest and what makes each of them special. Using our mammal themed games, crafts, and a healthy dose of imagination, we experienced the Eno and its forest from a different perspective as we channeled our inner mammal!
