Season Extender
For the first year Camp Forest extended the Camp experience for Home Schoolers and others right up until hunting Season!
The small group had intensive training in their desired skill sets. They refurbished the birch bark wigwam, worked on fire making,coal burning, plant identification and more.
Here is a paren'ts comment
Thank you for a great week of outdoor fun! The boys had a fantastic time...& as shown, they continue to do so after camp! Thank you, Camp Forest, for teaching great skills & nurturing a love of nature.

Summer 2011 is Gone!

The three who built their first waterproof shelter
Summer 2011 passed so quickly! It was a wonderful year! There were many new campers and several children were able to attend this unique experience because of friends, relatives and donors. Three campers obtained their Eagle Shelter badge. They worked hard to build a lean-to style shelter. As the shelter must be waterproof, nature cooperated and sent a deluge! Their shelter remained DRY! They slept in the shelter on the next overnight. Now we move into the fall homeschool season with groups of home schoolers coming to learn and extend the summer.
Camp may be relatively quiet but the administration is not. We need to refill the Campership Fund to allow more low-income children to attend in 2012.

Camp Forest held its first Season Extender! The 2011 camp season kicked off with a home school day. This is the first year for Camp Forest to offer special “off season” experiences. Home Schoolers attended one full day and worked on skills toward an Osprey or Eagle badge, which included identification of animal tracks. Camp Forests is also hosting an adult class on Survival Skills sponsored by Mt View Adult Education. Day and Expedition camping begin June 27th. We hope to raise enough campership funds to offer this experience to any low-income children who apply. Visit the website to discover the amazing learning opportunities offered at Camp Forest.
