We’ll forge our own path this week, as campers travel deeper into the woods and uncover the secrets of the forest. Participants will spend their days hiking and paddling through the Refuge, exploring new locations and creating strong bonds with fellow campers. We’ll dig deep to discover more about what or who lives among the trees. This exciting week will allow campers to be on the go, while mapping out their own adventure. Let’s plant, play dynamic forest games, search for hidden gems and learn more about what it means to be a leader!

Campers will journey through Hirundo, exploring concealed spaces and investigating the Refuge’s natural and manmade treasures! Let’s crouch down low and study the wildlife that is oftentimes hidden from our view or search our archeology site and dig through the past. This week campers will travel on the trails and in canoes to complete a weeklong scavenger hunt that will allow participants to learn more about Hirundo. With our magnifying glasses and our nature caps we will explore insects on a log, aquatic life that hides in plain sight, artifacts that were found at our dig spot and practice team building skills that will create amazing memories!

Let’s make a SPLASH at Hirundo Wildlife Refuge! This week we’ll explore our ponds and streams as we learn more about aquatic habitats and the creatures that make their homes in these special places. We’ll float through Hirundo on our canoes, enjoy water games on the hot summer days and practice our wildlife calls as we journey further into the Refuge. Grab your fishing nets as we carefully study our discoveries and utilize the scientific method as we draw hypotheses about our amazing finds!
