Camping by the Creek | August 8-13 | Ages 8-13 | $350 Members $400 non-members Do you like to camp- or have you always wanted to try? Tucked away in the Otter Creek Gorge at a secret forest shelter we call the Gazebo! Each day we’ll head into the woods to set up camp, gather around the fire, and spend the day exploring! We’ll cook over the fire, forage for what’s in season, take longer adventure walks, learn fun primitive skills, and enjoy peaceful moments in the forest. This camp is perfect for curious kids who love adventure, imagination, and being outdoors!
