In Earth Journals camp we not only took time to create our own journals but also learned ways to enjoy and protect Mother Earth. Along with our earth-themed activities, we played classic Schoolhouse games like Six Feathers, Sock Wars, and Windigo. Another highlight of the week was how much the forest and river changed with the rain we received in the last few weeks. We saw lots of emerging fungi, and animals like moths, lizards, and snakes. Check out the great times we shared this week in our photo gallery!

This week in Inchworm camp we made new friends, explored the forest and waterways for critters, and played both hiding and running games. But the real wow of the week was the many incredible forts we built. Some forts were 30 feet long, some had multiple rooms, and one even had a fireplace!  Check out the great times we shared this week in our photo gallery.

Learning about simple machines has never been better! Campers got to try their hand at throwing tomahawks and atlatls (a primitive hunting tool) and feel the advantage of leverage at work for them. They also saw the power of pulleys and wheels inside the 250 year old grist mill here at West Point on the Eno park. Along with forces and motion, they played classic Schoolhouse games like Six Feathers and Windigo and floated the Eno River. Check out a few photos from our wonderful week.

This week in Acorn camp was awesome! We made crafts from nature, such as leaf crowns, leaf rubbings, and paintbrushes. We played classic Schoolhouse games like, Kick the Can, Werewolf and Dragon’s Egg. Along with games and crafts, there was some tree-climbing, snake wrangling in the Eno river and fort-building at our base camps. This week was fun-filled with a wide variety of activities for all kinds of campers. Here are a few photos that showcase our wonderful week.
