Summer Camp

Our Raccoon campers had a great time this week exploring Brumley Forest! Campers got to discover great hiding spots and run wild through the forest playing games like Werewolf and battle it out in an epic (and silly!) game of Sock War. Creek time was another highlight for many campers who got plenty muddy, hunted for crayfish and salamanders, built dams, and splashed like crazy. Any extra time we had was filled with whittling, climbing and swinging on the vines, and discovering some of the best sticks and rocks in the forest. Check out our photo gallery for a sneak peek into our week!

Our bushcraft campers spent the week learning some skills to help them find the essentials for survival: food, water, and shelter. We had a great time collecting dew from the grass, learning about edible plants, building shelters, and practicing fire building with steel strikers and quartz or a bow drill! When we weren’t practicing our bushcraft skills we were busy playing some awesome rounds of games like Winidigo, Werewolf, and Scout Mission. Making survival bracelets, whittling, and creek time were other highlights of the week, not to mention finding plenty of great critters like a queen snake, crayfish, some awesome caterpillars, and millipedes! Whether it was raining or sunny, we were having a blast in Brumley Forest! Take a look at our photos to see some of the fun!
