Campers will participate in an exploration of our creek, looking for macroinvertebrates as well as fish, salamanders, tadpoles, and other important species. They will have the opportunity to catch critters with nets and learn more about water quality and important aquatic ecosystems through fun games and guided time in the creek.

A favorite activity for all, campers will learn about animal care and husbandry through hands-on experiences with the goats, chickens, sheep, and horses. They will also gain experience in looking for wild creatures such as frogs, toads, salamanders, and insects.

Campers will learn basic culinary skills as they cook a meal over the fire together. Fire starting basics, as well as lessons in fire safety and wilderness survival techniques, will build skills while campers experience the beauty of living simply outdoors.

A classic camp activity, nature hikes provide natural opportunities for child-led exploration and play, while increasing curiosity about Creation. These hikes are rich with plant identification, flipping rocks and logs to search for insects, and observing colors, shapes, textures, and sizes of things discovered in the natural world.
