Our fort fanatics built some truly epic creations this week! We whittled, painted, lashed, and constructed some impressive structures with our friends. When we weren’t building we were playing some of our favorite games, making up games in the creek, and searching for cute critters!

The campers brought their imaginations to life every day this week. They started with sticks, feathers, and berries and created paintbrushes to paint with, clay pots and sculptures, whittled tools and art, and built musical instruments from natural materials. It was so impressive to see what they would dream up!
We learned to survive and thrive this week! Campers worked together to raise the biggest stick fort we’ve ever seen, practice knot-tying and other skills, and play hard in team games. We adventured to the creek every day and had a blast splashing, building, and skipping rocks.
Campers were pros at going with the flow this week. We followed our imaginations in games and forest play, splashed in the creek, squished our fingers in the clay, and picked up lots of trash to keep our creek as clean as possible. The campers got to sculpt with the clay they found, and we celebrated everything water this week.
Campers discovered the magic and wonder of nature through creativity and play! This fun-filled week was a wonderful introduction to the outdoors for our youngest campers. Inspired by the curiosity and adaptability of opossums, campers explored the forest with curious noses and clever paws. Together, they searched for animal tracks, practiced moving quietly and listening closely to the sounds of the woods, and followed clues on an exciting scavenger hunt. Along the way, they uncovered the surprising secrets of one of nature’s most misunderstood—and truly remarkable—animals: the opossum!
With the structures we built in the woods, we lived like royalty—at least for a week. We had the perfect spot to eat lunch, and tiny woodland creatures seemed to have little homes all around us. It felt like we had created a world of our own.
Despite the high temperatures, campers embraced the challenge of cooking over an open fire with enthusiasm and responsibility. They practiced safe fire-building techniques, worked together to prepare delicious campfire treats, and showed resilience while cooking in the summer heat. From roasting marshmallows to baking cookies and creating their own campfire quesadillas every moment highlighted teamwork, outdoor skills, and determination. Their smiles and tasty creations made the hot day a memorable fireside adventure!
It was a dig-tastic week at camp! Campers learned about animals that dig and burrow throughout our forest and looked for signs of those animals during nature rambles. They also pretended to be rabbits and make burrows during a fun game of Run, Rabbit, Run. Campers spent time whittling, building forts, and splashing in the creek!
