Durham

Our week was filled with exploration and adventure! We started off the week by exploring our base camps and seeing what type of critters lived there. We discovered that our base camps have some awesome materials for building, and we soon got busy constructing fairy homes and forts. We also beat the heat with plenty of water time at the river and creeks. While at water time we got to turn over rocks and see what critters were hiding under them. We used nets to try and catch some of the critters to get a closer look at them. Our days usually ended with funny songs and stories about turtles and roosters. Take a look at the photos below to see how we ended each day dirty, tired, and happy! 

This week in Play With Honor camp we discussed what it means to be a good sport and to play every game with integrity. We listened to one another’s suggestions and made every game fun for everyone! We also explored the woods and waterways; seeing emerging mushrooms, slithering and swimming snakes, and a hopping frog or two. Our summer is off to a great start. Check out the photo gallery to see some of our fantastic week!

Our week at camp started off a little rainy, but that didn’t stop us from exploring the park and searching for critters–an activity that was a favorite throughout the week. In addition to checking out the critters in and around our base camp, we filled our days with hiking around the park and splashing around at all of our water time locations. We explored different creeks and visited a few special spots along the Eno River. We also got the chance to create ghillie suits and cover ourselves in mud to practice our camouflage techniques. In addition to all these activities, we also played a variety of classic Schoolhouse games, such as the Windigo, Dragon’s Egg, and Bum Bum Bum. Overall it was an awesome week filled with lots of excitement.

Luna camp was a spectacular week. From team-building activities to playing games to decorating a banner for our brother camp, Crow, we celebrated and empowered one another to be our best selves! Along with celebrating, we tested ourselves by throwing tomahawks, and jumping off the big jumping rock into the river. The week culminated with a camp out on Thursday night. We unveiled the Crow banner and performed a skit or two before having twilight water time in the Eno River. It was a great way to finish the week, dirty, tired, and happy.

Crow campers got to really shine this week. From making art work, like decorating bandanas and making a banner for our all-girl camp, Luna, to preforming skits, throwing tomahawks, jumping into the river from the big jumping rock and playing their hardest during games, these young men got to try it all. On Thursday Crow joined Luna camp in a camp out where they preformed skits for the each other then had a special treat– twilight water time in the Eno River! Each day was an adventure and the Crow campers met the challenge everyday head on!
