Forts and shelters capture kids’ imaginations. It allows them to use their minds to design structures, and their hands and bodies to create them. We’ll design and build forts and shelters using the raw materials that nature provides and our historical knowledge of primitive shelters in this area. Sign your wilderness architect up today!
Forts & Shelters for older campers (age 9-14) is a specialized camp with a focused theme, and while there is no prerequisite for experience, we encourage campers to sign up who are enthusiastic about the subject. Younger campers (age 5-8) will get a broader survey of what the older campers learn, interwoven with more games and free play.
