Amazing Race

Campers must have completed grades 5-8

August 24th - August 28th


The Amazing Race - ultimate challenge game, every day for a whole week! Campers will be placed on teams where they will have to work together to race across our trails from one ecosystem to the next using compasses, geocaching and tracking. Our "pit stops" will include a selfie scavenger hunt with our animals, engineering adventures on our pond, survival tactics like building a fire and learning about edible wild plants, and working together on a half-day project to construct a composting system for generations of campers to use!

 This camp will teach the value of team-work and give campers a natural world learning experience with lots of fun along the way!

June 29th- July 3rd   K-2 & 3-5 Sessions

Start your summer out right by taking a walk on the wild side! This camp will embrace all that is wild at Tanglewood, from the tops of the trees to deep in the dirt and everything in between! Discover how our ecosystems work and all that inhabits them. Campers will dissect owl pellets, use binoculars to look for birds, capture bugs and identify them, inspect a fallen log, and much more! Each day is a new theme and campers enjoy live animals, crafts, games, hikes and exploration.
