Secret Spy-der Photo Gallery
This week, we learned from our 8-legged friends as we honed our spider-craft and spy-craft! Becoming codebreakers and the best “spy-ders” we could be! We practiced our agility with the web maze, passed through the woods without a trace, and worked friends to solve any riddle that came our way! It was a week of mysteries and clues, running, hopping, jumping, and wading through the week to be a Secret Spy-Der.

Woodcarving is a great outlet for the imagination and this advanced woodworking week gave campers a chance to deepen their skills. With good tools, a piece of wood, and a bit of patience, campers were able to practice their hand at new techniques and crafting new creations. Whether focusing on precise carving, carving animal figurines, or using fire to carve out spoons and bowls, this week provided the chance for campers to improve their whittling and woodworking skills.

Chipmunk Photo Gallery
This week we learned all about our cute furry friends, chipmunks! We learned fun facts about them, made teeny chipmunk dens, and made cute chipmunk puppets! We saw cool creatures, built incredible forts, and played until we were dirty, tired, and happy.

This week we learned all about our reptile friends! We looked at box turtle shells, made beaded lizards, and played a couple epic games of Crocodilian Wars. We made new friends, learned new things, and had an awesome time in the woods!

Wildflower Photo Gallery
This week, the flowers were really in bloom for us! We used some to make wildflower bookmarks and to decorate our fairy houses this week. We loved our favorite Schoolhouse games like Sock Wars, Kick the Can, and Sashamambasnake! We have so much fun making all sorts of things in the creek from mud balls to dams, to even new friends!

Color Color Everywhere! Photo Gallery
This week we searched the forest far and wide for all the colors we could find! We searched for rocks of all colors, mushrooms of every color, and leaves – and we actually found some of every color (believe it or not!) We loved games like Monster Mash, Camouflage, and Rainbow Tag, and had lots of fun being silly with our faceprint! We loved swinging on vines at Piney Path, finding box turtles and giant mushrooms, and making new friends in the woods!
