Wild Kidz is a week-long day camp which strives to educate children about the importance of nature, while providing them with fun, hands-on outdoor experiences. Learn how to make a shelter, build a fire and navigate through the wilderness! Wild Kidz is designed for children and youth ages 8 to 14 to learn outdoor skills, wilderness safety and about their community’s wild spaces in a fun, safe environment.

Activities may include:

• Fire and shelter-building
• Archery and range day
• Fishing field trip
• Invasive species identification
• Wayfinding compass activity
• Owl pellet dissection
• Much more!

A more detailed schedule will be included in the Parent Handbook, which will be sent via email a few weeks before your camp session. The Parent Handbook provides an overview of Camp logistics such as where campers must be dropped off and picked up, forms, etc.
