A summer of fun, challenge, and adventure is a summer that changes you.
Seeking adventure
Design and construct a hideout, and learn how to make your own bug repellent.
Exploring outside
Row a canoe, paddle a kayak, and embark on a nature scavenger hunt.
Gaining skills
Learn to aim with archery, how to pitch a tent, and the secrets to surviving in the wilderness.
Understanding nature
Navigate a creek walk while looking for wildlife, show off your green thumb, and plant a garden.
Field trips*
