The Land of Snow: Faeries, Elves & Friendly Sleeping Dragons
More winter break camps >
Winter imagination comes to life
We may be hoping for snow outside but we can always find it in our imaginations. Every child walks through the winter wonderland by the profound lens of fantastical stories. These epics of grand adventure are very real to the children living them, serving as inspiration for profound relationships with the natural world.
Live action role playing
The dragons are hibernating, where are they? We need to find the dragons breath to help slightly warm the Land of Snow. Guided by Faeries and Elves, campers go on quests to solve riddles and learn from their animal friends of the forest. We hold court at The Scout Palace, featuring wild winter teas and foods. Story time becomes theater time, with campers playing fun improv games.
Every day at camp we live this story. Role playing takes on a magnificent scale and mostly friendly dragons are sleeping somewhere waiting to be found.
Thanksgiving Bonus Camp November 21 & 23 The Trackers Artisans Guild is also spining it's fantastical tales during Thanksgiving Break.
