October 6-10: Learning From The Land: Shelter & Fire Photo Gallery
Campers had some big adventures this week! Both groups learned about fire safety and skills during a group fire, and they roasted marshmallows on sticks they found in the woods. We spent less time in the creek as the days got chillier, and more time playing extra games, building stick shelters, and telling stories in the forest.

October 13-17: Untamed Creators and Crafters Photo Gallery
This camp week was an opportunity for campers to unleash their creativity, imagination, and maker-spirit! Campers had the chance to learn and improve whittling skills and use basic hand tools to create larger and more elaborate woodcraft projects. We didn’t stop there! We took our design and building skills to the skies and creeks with kites, paper airplanes, and boat-making challenges. There was something for everyone to create in this untamed camp!

October 28-30: Operation: WILD Photo Gallery
Campers made the most of this wet week as they whittled, started fires, cooked special treats, and played a lot of Ninja! When the skies cleared and the sun came out, the group worked together to build a nature obstacle course full of mazes, ladders, and hurdles.

November 17-21: Grow With The Flow Photo Gallery
Campers really made the most of this week as they explored every direction of Umstead State Park. From Loblolly Trail to Company Mill, the group found countless cool spots to whittle butter knives, skip rocks, and learn about the local plants. During these explorations they also found a Red-tail Hawk, a salamander, and countless huge crawfish!

November 24-25: Brumley Bonanza! Photo Gallery
These two days with filled with celebration and gratitude for Schoolhouse of Wonder, Brumley Nature Preserve, and each other! We enjoyed classic Schoolhouse games like camouflage and Watch Your Back Tag. We climbed trees and whittled with their fallen branches. In the afternoons, we were faced with fun challenges like being led by a buddy while blindfolded and weaving through a yarn maze. We ended the days with a handmade gifting circle.

December 15-19: Secrets of the Forest photo gallery
Cool weather is a wonderful time to explore the forest and see a different dimension to our familiar places. In this naturalist themed week, we fueled our creativity and tested our observation skills as we explored this new side of the forest.
