weekly themes

Through outdoor activities we build connections to the land, to ourselves and to each other.  Each week camp programming is focused on a different theme that hopes to emphasize character development, adventure and a connection to our natural world. Themes are used as a blue print to guide programming. They are not the central focus.

Some Beloved Themes from Summer’s Gone-By:

Born to Soar – Let your inner adventurer take flight! Find out what makes the birds fly and what it takes to make us soar, and how we are all connected.

Making Waves – Most of the earth’s surface is made up of water! Water plays an important part in our world. We will explore the impact water has on our lives and discover how we too can create a ripple-effect  on the world, all while we play all day outside!

I Will Survive – We will explore the different ways we all survive on earth and empower ourselves with the challenge of learning new outdoor survival skills.

Putting Down Roots – Trees use their roots to stand tall, nourish themselves, protect those around them, and even to communicate! Find out what sets you apart and helps you stand tall while we build and strengthen friendships as we play all day outside!

Small and Mighty – Every being has a role on earth, even the teeny, tiniest critter. We will explore the lives of the small and mighty around us, and discover our important place in the vast web of life as we challenge our inner “mighty” with outdoor adventure and play all day!

Wild & Whimsy – There’s magic everywhere in nature and a bit of wild-ness in every outdoor adventure. Discover your inner magic while we play all day in the whimsical wild!

Making Connections – We are all connected; animal, plant and person! We will explore the things that bring us all together and how we can each work to make those connections stronger. We will work together on action-projects of kindness and stewardship while we play all day outside!
