Flora, Fauna, Fun! Photo Gallery
We had so much fun this week looking at all the flora and fauna in the park as we soak in the last few weeks of warm weather (and the rainy season)! We made art out of nature, searched for frogs, toads, and worms (oh my!) and even went fishing. We made new friends, played lots of silly games in the forest, and learned to help each other, cheer one another on, and brave a rainy Friday!

Outdoor Survival Skills Photo Gallery
Campers really put their Outdoor Survival Skills to the test this week, having to utilize them in both rain and shine! This included using knots to build boats, learning to start fires, and identifying edible plants that grow within Umstead State Park!

Go With the Flow Photo Gallery
The changes of seasons create amazing colors and patterns all around us! Have you ever wondered why autumn is also called fall? This week we explored the changes around us as the days cooled off, the trees have started to change, and the animals begin preparing for winter. We foraged, made natural dyes, and explored what makes this time of year so special. Some folks think fall is the best time to get outside, and we wouldn’t disagree!

Eno Naturalists Photo Gallery
This week we learned how to become stewards of the Eno River and how to care for the natural world all around us. Campers made crafts out of invasive plants, worked together to beautify the park, and of course, played classic Schoolhouse games in between. We had fun and gave back to the park that we love!

Junior Naturalists Photo Gallery
This week we explored old and new parts of the forest! We went to our favorite beloved base camps and trekked out to new territory where we found cute animals, epic mudslides, and a new favorite creek spot! We played, splashed, and explored our way through this week as junior naturalists.
