A camp favorite: Grab some sticks and your imagination, it's time to build a fort! Venturing into the woods and fields
of Blandford we will be creating human-sized habitats for dwelling and defense from the elements. Learn proper
structure and function of fortress foundations as well as ways to ensure our time in the woods is warm, dry, and as
fun as can be!
Running Wild
Animal survival depends on endurance, strength, stealth, and speed. This week, we will build these skills for
ourselves as we test our ability to hike, build, hide, and, run! Camouflage, animal yoga, bobcat stalking, and turtle
sprints are just a few examples of the exciting ways we will run wild this week!
Game Makers
We’re breaking out our big book of fun and games! Join us for a week of scavenger hunts, trail games, and team-
building challenges as we find fun in unexpected places. Try your hand at art projects with a twist, and trek out to
some of the farthest points at Blandford as we test out new camp games created by you!
Epic Expeditions
Where at Blandford can we find a Mulberry tree? Which of our animal ambassadors eats fish? What animal is making
sandcastles in the meadow? Prepare to join us in Blandford’s first ever Epic Expeditions competition to learn all of
this and more! Campers will work as a team to answer clues and earn points as we explore different areas of
Blandford and learn more about the wildlife that calls it home.
August 12-16
Mornings at the Farm
Farm life is the life for me! Our youngest farmers will help to grow and harvest food in the Children’s Garden, feed
friendly chickens, and play games with goats as we learn all about life on the Blandford Farm. As the sun helps our
crops to grow, we’ll learn about what plants and animals need to survive and try our hands at using small farm tools.
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!
Hooray for Herptiles
Campers will discover the slimy and scaly world of toads, turtles, salamanders, and snakes as we explore Blandford’s
own froggy ponds, muddy marshes, and curvy creek. As herpetologists in training, we’ll feed, interact with, and come
up with ways to improve the habitats of these amazing animals!
Go Wild
The best place to play is outdoors! Will you be the fastest frog in the pond, the silliest salamander under the log, or
the most creative bug in the meadow? We’ll play the animal way, creating new games, exploring the different
habitats, and having all kinds of fun in the sun!
