July 27-31: The Upside Down Photo Gallery
Campers turned the forest upside down in this epic game-filled week! They fought demogorgons and defeated vecna while exploring the woods and meeting all sorts of new creatures along the way. With all of our epic forts in the woods and splash battles in the river, we’d give this week an eleven out of ten!

Teamwork and imagination came together this week as campers transformed the forest into their very own village! Using sticks, leaves, and creativity, groups designed and built forts. After building, they also got a chance to bring them to life with hand-crafted flags, banners, and other decorations. Between construction sessions, there was still be plenty of time for games, exploration, and fun around the village. By the end of the week, campers have built more than structures; they built a community in the woods!

There is an age-old secret passed down for generations telling of the hidden treasure deep in the woods. we followed hidden paths, deciphered ancient maps, and found clues to solve the mystery of the Sandy Creek Treasure! We needed all our wit, teamwork, creativity, and determination to make it through the week to where X marks the spot.

There’s nothing quite like wandering through the woods! This week we got to explore all around the park, visiting places very few have tread, looking far across the lake and peering close up right beneath our feet, and finding lots of cool natural treasures along the way.

It was a creative week in the forest! Campers played games that incorporated the colors of the rainbow, built forts using sticks and twine, and went on nature rambles to find cool leaves they could use in their art this week. They also spent time making nature journals, suncatchers, and many other nature based crafts!

This week, campers spent extra time exploring in and around the creek. Campers built toy sized boats using sticks and floated them down the creek. Campers got to pretend to be pirates during a fun game of Pirate Mash and even got to make pirate flags for their teams! When they weren’t in the water or pretending to be pirates, they spent time whittling, fort building, and listening to stories all about pirates.
