Campers will step into a world of wonder at Enchanted Forest Overnight, an unforgettable multi-day adventure woven with stories, challenges, and the enchantment of the living woods.
This immersive overnight experience invites campers to become villagers of an enchanted land and journey deeper into the forest’s heart, where imagination intertwines with hands-on exploration and a new magical story unfolds each time they return.
Villagers practice naming the creatures, plants, and patterns of the natural world while deepening their sense of relationship with the forest around them in imaginative ways. Throughout their stay, Enchanted Forest Villager’s days are filled attending magical lessons like:
✨ Wayfinding: learn how to read the quiet clues of the forest through games, activities, and ancient practices.
✨Potions: Villagers will learn to identify and ethically forage for ingredients from nature to harness their plant properties and powers, mixing potions around the campfire.
✨Creature Care: we’ll bring real and imaginary creatures to life through embodiment, games, and tracking. Learn how they move, communicate, hide, hunt, and help the ecosystem thrive.
✨Enchantments: creativity will fly while crafting a wand, staff, talisman, and other nature charms to take home. They will learn the lore of different types of trees and what magical real life qualities each is said to hold.
