““My child had an amazing time at camp, came home tired, dirty, and smiling every day! It was exactly how I was hoping a summer camp would be!” ”
Summer Day Camp
Oh, boy…what fun we have at summer camp!!
Children are unplugged and immersed in nature, spending their days outdoors exploring the field, forest, stream, and wetland habitats of our Windhover Campus.
Soooo…what do we do at camp?
We spend our days engaged in so many fun activities - we build forts, play camouflage, and make water dams. We pick raspberries and sour apples. We make flower crowns and tree eyes, splash in streams, catch fish and caddisfly larvae. We meet trees, climb trees, and hide behind trees. We spy on insects and frogs. We tell stories, engage in imaginative play, and have lots of belly laughs. We sing songs, be silly, run free…and be kids. And at the end of the day, we send them home tired, dirty, and with big smiles!
