Homeschoolers' Camps

Adventure camp photos from Spring 2002

This year, we are planning to focus on orienteering, perhaps spending 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours a day on this theme.. Orienteering is the sport of land navigation and develops the ability to find your way in the woods. We'll play lots of fun games including treasure hunts, that will teach children orienteering skills. We'll start out simple and develop skills through-out the 10 days, as we build land navigation proficiency, including use of maps and compasses.

Below are other activities we have done in the past, some of which we may also do at this spring's camp.

Foraging wild edibles Tree/plant identification scavenger hunt. Temporary Shelter Building Making Backpacking stoves Nature Games Nature Hikes Night Hikes

Other possible activities we may schedule (listed in more detail on the General Info page) are:f Canoeing, Swimming, Evening Camp-fires/skits/songs/hikes games, Bird Watching or Wild Animal Siting, Field Games, Cookouts, Cooperative Games, Juggling, Devil Sticks, Rollerblading/Skating.

Drama Camp will be happening at the same time and Drama Campers will be together with Outdoors Adventure Campers for meals and various games and sports. However, during the 2-3 hours of orienteering for Adventure Campers, Drama Campers will be doing theater activities.
