AM: Animal Architects

From bees to owls, wild animals use natural materials in various ways to create magnificent structures. We will not only search for and try to identify some of these structures, but we will also try to mimic the process and create our own.

PM: Go Exploring

What is hiding under logs, skipping along the pond, or jumping through the trees at Blandford Nature Center? Your little explorer will investigate the nooks and crannies of the nature center to try to find as many different amazing creatures as we can! We will practice walking and talking just like the wild critters we find.

Fairy Tales

The enchanted forest is full of wonder-- where pigs design houses, dragon fire protects treasure, and you get to find a way to save the day. Help us bring our favorite stories to life as we create a week of magic!

Wild Culinary Adventures

Go on an edible adventure-- harvesting garden veggies, discovering wild forest foods, and creating deliciously healthy snacks! Along the way, practice basic cooking skills like dicing, reading a recipe, and measuring ingredients. Campers will build up their cooking abilities in order to whip up a recipe of their own on Friday.

Farm Eco-Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs-in-the-making will gain confidence and experience by creating their own farm business! Skills for success like marketing, money management, and growing a great product will be woven throughout all the fun farm experiences. Camp includes a field trip to the Fulton Street Farmer ' s Market where campers will help staff the Blandford Farm stall.

PM: Make A Splash

Water is an incredible source of life! Your water loving campers are sure to have a splash-tastic time at this camp as we play in the Brandywine Creek, visit the different spots at Blandford that hold water, and learn about the importance of water to both people and wildlife.

Goats, Pigs, Chickens- Oh My!

This farm camp is designed with serious animal lovers in mind. Fun, engaging learning activities will be centered on caring for livestock in the barns and pastures, as well as activities with wool, feathers and more.

Radical Raptors

Do you have the fierceness and determination of a raptor? Using binoculars and field guides, we will explore the property looking for signs of raptor activity from nesting to feeding. Campers will get an opportunity to meet Blandford’ s birds of prey, hear and share their stories, and prepare their food for them each day.
