Connect With Nature at Discovery Wilderness School Summer Camp

At Discovery, we strive to inspire wonder, curiosity, and connection with the natural world through playful exploration and meaningful community.

Our camp curriculum focuses on discovery-based learning using the natural world as a catalyst for growth and development.

Choose from Bushcraft Camp in June or Wild Water Week in July.

Campers will have the opportunity to grow in their connection to nature and one another during these weeks full of adventure!

Choose One Session or Both!

Bushcraft Camp: June 3-6, 9 AM - 3 PM for ages 5-15

Put your outdoor survival skills to the test!

This week will be filled with shelter-building, cooking wild edibles, crafting from natural materials, fishing, canoeing, swimming, fire-building, tree-climbing…

We’ll be active in the world of bush craft as we learn from the earth.


* Sparks (ages 5-7)
Campers will focus on fort-building, natural crafts, and basic orienteering using a compass.

We'll play survival games and include lots of imaginative free play in our beautiful nature playscape. Campers will have a lake day where they'll get to use paddle boats and swim.

* Flames (ages 8-11)
We'll build fires, shelters, and bows and arrows.

Campers will learn orienteering with a compass, filter drinking water, and get a chance to swim, canoe and fish on the lake.

We'll learn about wild edibles that we cook over the fire, alongside the fish that we catch with our home-made fishing poles. We can't wait to adventure together!


* Ignite (ages 12-15)
Our oldest campers will have the opportunity to add on to their experience by spending Wednesday night in their own shelters in the woods.

We'll eat the fish we catch and cook wild edibles over the fire.

Campers will be challenged to put into practice the survival skills they learn throughout the week.
