The forest is an inspiring playground for make-believe! We learned how to tell stories together and found the mystical in the mundane. We built homes fit for fairies and goblins, searched for magical plants, and vanquished monsters as we froliced through the forest in this imagination-filled camp!
We traveled back in time during this Early Americans themed week! We learned about life on the frontier, tried our hand at some of the games that pioneer children loved to play, and churned homemade butter. We discovered the joy of working with our hands by practicing our whittling skills and created our very own thaumatropes. Each day was packed with good old-fashioned fun!
Is your camper led by curiosity? Do they ever wonder what’s flying through the tops of the trees or what’s living below their feet? This week, our 7-12 year old campers used bug nets, binoculars, and magnifying glasses to focus on the flora and fauna around us. We even tried our hand at bird, frog and bug calls to see if we could call them nearer to get a closer look! It was an amazing time of exploring the creatures of the forest guided by our natural curiosities.
This was a week of forest festivities celebrating the kick off summer! Our campers planned the celebrations for our summertime commencement using their creativity, imagination, and natural resources! We made decorations out of nature, enjoyed some good food, played some of the best games SHOW has to offer and cooled off in the Eno River.

This week, the exploration was off the charts! We were able to enjoy the forest, creeks, and rivers around us, and found creatures to observe as well! Practicing our forest survival skills like knot tying and fire skills, and playing some classic Schoolhouse games was a great way to spend this week in the woods.
