Description

Summer Camp Volunteers act as assistant instructors for our summer camps and receive training in our unique approach to mentoring youth in nature, which focuses on curiosity, play and asking questions as much or more than a delivery of facts. You can learn more about this approach by exploring Coyote’s Guide to Connecting with Nature, available from our web store.

This popular day camp packs in an exciting week of fishing, aquatic exploration, and playing along the shore.

At Fishing Skills Camp, kids learn how to catch wild freshwater fish from our local waters. They’ll engage in all aspects of fishing from knot-tying and baiting a hook to cleaning and cooking their catch. Engaging mentors will teach campers casting and fishing techniques as they explore the water’s edge. Each day will offer many opportunities for fun with aquatic-life-oriented games and challenges.

Inclement Weather Plan: As an outdoor school, we enjoy spending summer camp days outside, rain and shine. At many of our parks, we have limited or no indoor space, and with the increased heat throughout summer we would like to let you know about some of our heat-related plans: We will take full advantage of the forest and the shade at our parks as it provides cooler temperatures We will limit high-energy games and activities. We will take more time for water breaks and hydration. Each Director will have spray bottles to mist and keep campers cool. At the parks that have water access, we will be using the lakes and rivers to our best advantage. You as a parent are always welcome to keep your child home if you feel that the Heat is not safe for your child. To support your child during high heat days is to pack extra water bottles, sunscreen, sun hats, sun shirts, and any clothing that can keep your child cool and limit sun exposure. There might be days when it is just too hot outside for camps to happen. There is the possibility of canceling camp on those days. We will reach out to you if we are planning to cancel a camp.
