Summer Camp

Our Orienteering week was a blast as campers practiced using a compass and reading maps, culminating in camper teams completing our very first Brumley (mini)-orienteering course! We weren’t sure how it was going to go, but every team was able to find all of the checkpoints – even more impressive when you realize a checkpoint is a simply marked tree somewhere in the forest! When we weren’t practicing our navigation skills we were busy playing some classic games like Windigo and Werewolf, climbing vines, and whittling. Creek time was another highlight as campers splashed, got muddy, and looked for critters (including a baby Northern Water Snake). Take a look at our photos to get a glimpse into our awesome week!

Earthworm campers had a pretty awesome week filled with plenty of adventures. They ran through the forest, hid behind trees and snuck around while they played some classic Schoolhouse games like Scout Mission and Werewolf. Creek time was a hit and many campers had a great time splashing around, making mud creations (including getting themselves muddy from head to toe), and looking for critters (including one of the biggest crayfish we’ve ever seen in Brumley Forest!). That wasn’t the only critter we found – we were lucky enough to see a rough green snake, some salamanders, some praying mantises, and a queen snake! We finished out the week climbing vines, making earthworm habitats out of bottles, and whittling. Take a look at our pics to see what our week was like!
