Faeries, Elves and Baby Spring Dragons

Imagination comes to life
Are there really faeries and elves in nature? We may never know the answer, yet part of the fun is exploring the question. Every child walks through the woodland learning by the profound lens of imagination and stories. These epics of fantastical adventure are very real to the children living them. They serve as inspiration for profound relationships with the natural world.
The Dragon Egg Spring break camp has our questors trying to find and save a rare dragon egg. The dragons only have one egg every 500 years. This spring the egg has accidently been lost. The Dragons need your help. Our job is to find the dragon egg before it hatches and return it to it's dragon family.
Live action role playing
Campers don the garb of wizards, knights, elves and minstrels each day. They go on quests to solve riddles and learn from their many friends (the animals) of the forest. We hold court at TrackersHQ, featuring wild teas and foods. Story time becomes theater time, with campers often participating through fun improv games. At the end of the week we meet with the Minstrel, Jester and the Bard. These three great performers help us assemble and enact a theater piece for parents and friends that recount the tales of our adventures throughout the week.
