What will the kids do at camp? Students participate in morning and afternoon classes. They are taught by trained naturalists. Some of the topics offered: Forest Ecology and geology. They also will have night activities, including campfires and night hikes. Students will have some free time each day. Free time activities include: air hockey, pool tables, ping pong, basketball, soccer, and a play structure. We will also be swimming-girls one day, boys another day. There will be challenge activities such as: a 200-300 foot zip line, a giant 50 foot swing, and climbing structures. We will be doing many team building activities. No one is forced to do anything they are not comfortable with doing. 
