Imagination comes to life
Are there really faeries and elves in nature? We may never know the answer, yet part of the fun is exploring the question. Every child walks through the woodland learning by the profound lens of imagination and stories. These epics of fantastical adventure are very real to the children living them. They serve as inspiration for profound relationships with the natural world.
Live action role playing
Campers don the garb of wizards, knights, elves and minstrels each day. They go on quests to solve riddles and learn from their many friends (the animals) of the forest. We hold court at TrackersHQ, featuring wild teas and foods. Story time becomes theater time, with campers often participating through fun improv games. At the end of the week we meet with the Minstrel, the Jester and the Bard. These three great performers help us assemble and enact a theater piece for parents and friends that recount the tales of our adventures throughout the week.
Every day at camp we live this story. Role playing takes on a grand scale and mostly friendly dragons are sleeping somewhere waiting to be found.
Awesome extended camp begins at 8am until 5:30pm Our affordable extended camp program begins at 8am and ends at 5:30pm, making camp convenient for working parents. Main camp hours offer flexible drop-off from 8:30am-9am with flexible pick-up 3:00pm-3:30pm.
Please read every word on this page together with your child. Especially "A Good Fit?"
