Camp Sessions:
Is your child an adventurer, ready to explore what’s around the next bend in the trail? If so, then Adventure Camp is just what your child needs! Campers explore the trails deep in the forest, shoot bows and arrows, use a map and a compass to discover buried treasure, and learn outdoor survival skills.
Shelter-Water-Fire-Food: These are the four basic human needs for survival. In Wilderness Survival Camp, kids will develop their ability to build a shelter, start a fire, and find food and water in the wilderness.
Discover the exciting world within a pond, lake, stream, and river at Water Wonders And of course, no water-themed camp is complete without water games!
