What Makes a Summer Camp Extraordinary?
Two Coyotes Wilderness School offers weeklong day camp sessions at locations in Newtown & Granby. Each session is led by skilled nature mentors who introduce earth living skills by tailoring each camp day to match the natural curiosity of their campers. Younger campers explore a broad survey of games, activities, and introductory skills within the camp theme. Older campers have the opportunity to go deeper into more focused learning and application of skills into crafts and projects. Campers may learn anything from how to craft handmade tools and art projects from natural materials, track animals, identify bird language, make friction fires, build forts and shelters, and forage for safe wild edibles. Along the way, all campers learn nature-inspired games, songs, and have free time to explore streams, mountainsides, and other unexpected nature mysteries.
Above all, our nature summer camps get kids outside and having fun! Our mentors use the natural world to teach campers valuable life skills. We believe that nature is the perfect place for children to learn about their personal gifts and how to overcome life’s challenges. Our small group size and exceptional adult mentors ensure a high-quality experience filled with memories and new friendships. Read parent & camper testimonials here.
A Typical Day at Camp
Camp starts with a morning game and gratitude circle. Mornings are spent focusing on wilderness projects and learning skills such as building a debris shelter, making pottery, or learning how to sneak invisibly through the forest. After lunch, our afternoons are filled with storytelling, playing in the river, and games that apply the skills we learned in the morning. We close each day with a sharing circle and group song.
Camps for Teens!
The forest is the perfect place for teens to be together, connect with nature, themselves, and community. Our 2-week MIT program (Mentor-in-Training) is designed for those on a leadership path. MITs are teens 14+ with a desire to learn how to use their previous wilderness skill experience to mentor youth through nature connection. Contact us for more info on this specialized program. We also offer Advanced Survival and Wildwood Rangers camps for ages 12-15. Advanced Survival camp includes an overnight on Thursday evening.
