It’s All Fun & Games Photo Gallery
It’s all fun and games out here in the woods! This week campers played many classic schoolhouse games and tried their hand at other classic schoolhouse activities like whittling, fort building, and fire making! When they weren’t sneaking, running, and hiding they were splashing, laughing, and finding lots of fun treasures!

Camp Like a Champ Photo Gallery
This group had an epic adventure in the woods! We learned skills like pitching a tent, hanging a bear bag, baking over a fire, and so much more. Campers tried their hand at primitive fire making and even practiced first aid scenarios. When they were honing their skills, they were splashing in the creek, petting turtles, and playing lots of games!

Creek Stompers Photo Gallery
Our first week of PreK camp was filled with stomping in the creek, building forts in the woods, playing silly games, finding oodles of bugs, and getting messy in the mud! Brookhaven Nature Park is full of so many natural treasures for our youngest schoolhouse campers to uncover.

Sourwood (Black Feathers Group) Photo Gallery
Sourwood week gave campers a chance to appreciate the trees and plants around us through some of our senses including touch, smell, and taste! Plant walks filled our days between fun games, and cooling off in the river. Even if we don’t remember all the names of the plants in the forest, we will remember the friends we made amongst the Sourwood trees.

This week was spent using the forest as inspiration for our creations. We made a fire and forts of all forms. We also played field and forest games with running, jumping, and of course, face paint. Cooling off in the river was a great way to spend the afternoons, especially when we get to jump in off of Jumping Rock!

Trekking Quest with Hiking Overnight Photo Gallery
Campers experienced the great outdoors to the fullest through a week dedicated to building our backpacking skills. Every ounce counts when you are carrying supplies on your back, and campers learned what to pack and what to leave behind. We practiced essential skills like knot tying, packing a backpack, and strategies to keep food out of reach from animals. Then campers experienced a single night overnight backpacking trip along the Mountain to Sea Trail and following the Eno River!
