AM: Birds Of A Feather

Campers will try to answer the question of " what makes a bird a bird " by talking like a bird, eating like a bird, building like a bird, playing like a bird, and even dressing up like a bird. Equipped with binoculars and books about birds, we will explore different habitats to find these feathered friends.

PM: Nature Art

Nature can provide all kinds of ideas and materials that we can use to create wonderful works of art. Crafty campers will love creating nature collages, camouflaging themselves in natural materials, singing silly songs, making art installations for other visitors to enjoy by the creek, and more.

Fort Building

A camper favorite! Learn tricks and techniques for building lasting structures that provide a perfect place for hiding out with friends. Then save a little time to create special homes for some of Blandford ' s creatures.

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 7-11
