Now that your camper is preparing to head back to school, you’ve got plenty of teacher workdays, intersession breaks, and holidays to plan for! We know there are plenty of different school calendars out there, and we do our best to run fall programming for as many as we can. If your school isn’t listed below, let us know and we’ll add it!

January and February 2024 camps coming soon
We run a few winter camps at our West Point on the Eno location each winter. We have a blast exploring the forest in the cooler seasons, building fires and forts, whittling, and playing plenty of games. We’ve set up our winter camps as 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!
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.

Most programs are eligible for a discount when you register for two or more programs, for the same child or siblings in the same household, in the same order.
- Multi-camp: You will automatically receive a $15 discount off the cost of a second, and any additional, camp seat purchased in the same order. This discount applies to Discovery Days and partial-week camps.

Leadership Training for Teenagers
Want to nurture your 13-16 year old’s leadership skills? Learn more about our Counselor in Training program. If your camper has already completed CIT Training and has been a CIT in our programs before, they may be able to be a CIT during our fall, winter, and spring programs depending on camp capacity.
