A camp favorite: Grab some sticks and your imagination, it's time to build a fort! Explore the woods and fields of
Blandford to gather the perfect materials to make your fort a fortress. Campers will learn how to safely build human-
sized habitats with nature's materials.
Whooo's Who at Blandford
Which Michigan animal loves to eat skunks? Which mammal can “fly” using extra skin between their legs? Campers
will work together to find answers to questions like these as they embark on an animal scavenger hunt that will take
them to every corner of Blandford!
Wild Wizarding Wonders
Have you ever felt like there is a whole magical world hidden all around us? Campers will put their extraordinary
imaginations to the test as they practice their wand-dueling skills, care for magical creatures, play quidditch, and
explore Blandford’s enchanted forest. Muggle campers will leave this camp as talented wizards and witches after
completing a magical quest.
August 5-9
Dino Stomp
Time for a dinosaur dance! Experience life as herbivorous and carnivorous dinos, discover the ancient tropical
habitats they called home, and go on a dinosaur dig to learn about life long ago!
Wildlife Helpers
Michigan is home to a wondrous variety of wildlife that needs your help! Campers will create special items to help
the wildlife in their backyards, work on projects to protect habitat diversity, and go behind the scenes in our wildlife
care center to prepare food and enrichment items for our permanent residents.
Big Blandford Safari
Hop like a toad, walk like a fox, and run like a deer as we explore the habitats of Blandford! We’ll search high and
low through forest, meadow, and stream and use scientific tools to discover animals large and small. Find your wild
side as we trek further into the natural world around us!
Fairy Tales
See the Blandford woods through the eyes of your favorite fairy tales: walk through the woods like Little Red Riding
Hood, build homes for fairies and trolls, and discover what’s at the top of the beanstalk. Fairy tales awaken the most
wonderful parts of our imagination, and combined with nature play, this makes for a week of never ending stories and
lasting memories.
Feathery Friends
Binoculars up! We’re going on a bird hike like no other, searching for songbirds, raptors, waterfowl and more! Help to
care for Blandford’s resident birds of prey for a day, create egg-cellent art, and collect data for real ornithologists as
we learn about this amazing class of animals.
Farm Stand
Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit? Then the farm needs you! Become a part of our working farm, harvesting and
preparing produce to share with our community. Practice skills needed to run a business, including money
management, product marketing, and work ethic. This week includes a field trip to Fulton Street Farmers Market
where campers will help Blandford Farm staff run the produce stall.
