Advanced Summer Day Camps

"At dinner each day my son and I would discuss the activities at camp. He was brimming with enthusiasm and would spend the rest of the evening talking about nature and the skills he learned!"
-Deborah Machon


Wilderness Awareness Advanced Day Camps
Ages 10-12, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. daily; $280/week; Price includes a free t-shirt, field guide, and pocket nature notebook!). See our calendar for dates and registration info

(NOTE: These camps build on knowledge gained at our beginner Day Camps, and require at least one week of prior camp experience with us. This week can be taken earlier the same summer!)

Scout Awareness Day Camp

This advanced day camp focuses on using our senses to the fullest, as did the ancient "scouts" of many cultures who were able to travel for days without supplies. We will gain greater knowledge of edible plants as food and medicine; tracking as a means of gathering details of animals’ lives without ever seeing them; and "bird language" to allow us to move silently and become more aware of predators.

Survival Skills Day Camp

This advanced day camp is an extremely hands-on camp that includes fire making, wilderness craft and tool making. Experiences include fire making practice with and without matches, principles of shelter building, as well as open-fire cooking, knife safety and knife sharpening techniques.
