This week campers splashed in the creek, cooked a tasty treat over an open fire, and even constructed a dam! We shared stories, played games, learned to whittle, and made new friends. What wonderful eager beavers!

Feet in the Creek Photo Gallery
Campers enjoyed getting wet this week as they put their whole bodies in the creek; not just their feet! During this time opportunities were had to skip rocks, search for snakes, catch crawfish, and have fun in our Splash Zone. When not in the water many kids also grouped up to make shelters as well.

Frog Photo Gallery
Campers had a rabbeting time during our Frog themed week at Umstead State Park! After spending the mornings searching for toads or playing Leapfrog Tag, the group cooled off in the creek counting tadpoles and were amazed at how many critters they saw every day.

Queen Snake & Knife and Knot Skills Photo Gallery
This week at Three Bears, our older campers challenged themselves to master new skills with string, from friendship bracelets to rock slings. Our younger campers crafted their own snakes and used them to create story after story. We came together for epic games and critter-full water time each day.

Arboreal Adventures Photo Gallery
This three-day adventure week was filled with joy as campers built forts large and small, hopped through obstacle courses, and designed their own leaf monsters. We beat the heat by splashing in the creek and catching frogs, crawfish, and salamanders.
