June 22-26: Lizard Photo Gallery
Leaping lizards! This was one awesome week! Campers sunned themselves on rocks, splashed in the creek, and investigated the forest floor for the sneaky reptiles that call this land home. We played lots of exciting games, and the campers created bright and colorful crafts.
June 29-July 3: Stream Photo Gallery
Campers were pros at going with the flow this week. We followed our imaginations in games and forest play, splashed in the creek, squished our fingers in the clay, and picked up lots of trash to keep our creek as clean as possible. The campers got to sculpt with the clay they found, and we celebrated everything water this week.
June 29-July 3: Survival Shelters Photo Gallery
We learned to survive and thrive this week! Campers worked together to raise the biggest stick fort we’ve ever seen, practice knot-tying and other skills, and play hard in team games. We adventured to the creek every day and had a blast splashing, building, and skipping rocks.
June 29-July 3: Creative Visionaries Photo Gallery
The campers brought their imaginations to life every day this week. They started with sticks, feathers, and berries and created paintbrushes to paint with, clay pots and sculptures, whittled tools and art, and built musical instruments from natural materials. It was so impressive to see what they would dream up!
July 6-10: Bridge the Mighty Waters Photo Gallery
The waters of Richland Creek were no match for these campers! We splashed and skipped our way through water time every day of camp. The fun didn’t stop there – we played on land just as hard, and even brought the water into our games during a splashy game of Drip, Drip, Drop!
July 6-10: Growth Rings: The Journey Begins Photo Gallery
This week, campers launched themselves into the world of Schoolhouse’s Growth Rings! They focused on carefully whittling blocks and butter knives, studied the parts of plants in the forest, and practiced putting together all the ingredients for a campfire. We still made lots of time for games and had many adventures splashing in the creek!
July 6-10: Magnolia Photo Gallery
We had it made in the shade this week at Schenck Forest! Campers worked together to carry limbs for their stick shelters, picked out their favorite sticks to whittle, and practiced balancing on fallen logs. We found leaves and seeds to use in cool crafts and enjoyed the shade of the trees protecting us from the sun and rain alike.
July 13-17: Caterpillar Photo Gallery
What an imaginative, adventurous week! The campers carefully crept along the forest floor in search of insect life hiding under logs and in the leaves, and they sang and laughed their way down every trail. We made several crafts this week and wondered what it would be like to change and grow into our own beautiful butterflies.
July 13-17: Craft-Tastic Photo Gallery
This group stretched all their creativity this week. From painting with natural dyes to finding their own clay for sculptures, we discovered just how inspiring the forest can be. Even our games were colorful! And of course, we did our best to wash it all off in the creek.
