2024 Fall & Winter Camps
→ Register for Durham Fall camps here!
We run a few weeks of fall camps and single-day Discovery Days at our West Point on the Eno location each year. Our fall campers get to enjoy adventuring through the changing forest, building fires and forts, whittling, and playing plenty of games. We’ve set up our fall camps and single-day Discovery Days to accommodate as many school calendars as possible. Sign up for as many as you need to cover your camper’s time out of school!
Check out our Durham Fall Camps by School Calendar!
On an intersession or school break? Join us for an outdoor adventure at West Point on the Eno City Park. Nature-based themes change each week so a new adventure is always on the horizon.
Some kids play easily with others, some walk intrepidly into adventure, while others may fear the unfamiliar. At Schoolhouse of Wonder, every kid matters. Each person, young or old, is different. We love that. Every Schoolhouse camp provides a unique environment of kindness, respect, and learning. Our award-winning, nature-based outdoor camps have different themes each season, but they are all inspired by our core values. Low camper-to-staff ratios allow campers a sense of freedom while providing a safe and nurturing environment.
Campers (7-12 years old), Counselors in Training, and staff can also challenge themselves to grow and learn by earning “Growth Rings” in areas like fire making, whittling, plant lore, and snake identification and handling. Oh, and by day’s end, we’ll return your kids dirty, tired, and happy. Guaranteed.
