“My daughter loved Ranger Skills Day Camp and came home grubby, excited, and happy every day! What a great experience. This was her second year at this camp and she loved it again! Thanks so much to the creative and caring counselors. Can’t wait to see you next year!”

– Mother of Sydney B. (age 12)

“Our son loved every day of Ranger Skills. He learned useful skills, practical knowledge and applied the skills and techniques learned through fun and engaging games taught by respectful, committed, compassionate leaders. Most importantly, he had the opportunity to experience nature and came home so happy each day. This is hands down the best camp he has attended and he cannot wait to attend another in the future.

– Heather, 2025 parent

“As a first-timer, my child loved the active nature of Ranger Skills Day Camp! The games were definitely a hit and it was great to see the learning about nature that went along with it. Our family is excited to come back next year and to connect with Wilderness Awareness programs throughout the year as well!”

– Parent of Alex (9)

This is the ultimate day camp for kids who love to move, play, and discover the magic of nature while becoming true Guardians of the Wild!

At Ranger Skills Camp, kids will learn to move silently and fluidly, discover the art of camouflage, and mimic wild animals. They’ll be free to run, jump, and engage in wild play in the woods while learning safe and easy natural movement techniques.

Campers will learn to calm their mind like a Jedi, move in rhythm with the forest like Aragorn, and explore the world as a Ranger!  

Campers will enjoy:

• Practicing stealth and camouflage techniques to move unseen and unheard through the woods
• Learning to move like a wild animal
• Gaining wildlife tracking and Bird Language skills
• Honing their ranger skills through missions and challenges
• Adventures in the woods with new friends!
