Our young scientists discovered the special plants and animals of Schenck forest this week. They brought their imaginations to turn sticks into magic wands and play tree-wizard Beckon! We splashed in the creek, collected walking sticks, and played in SO much mud. It was a tree-mendous week!
In this adventurous week, we learned to paddle canoes & stand-up paddle boards and saw how far our paddling journey could go! We learned basic paddling skills, played exciting games on the water, and explored the lake in all different directions. Thanks again to all who joined us on our epic paddling adventure!
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!
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.

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.
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.
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!
