Ranger Skills Camp is a real world quest for kids ready to sharpen their awareness, master ancient scouting skills, and discover the mysteries of nature.
Unplug from screens and step into a world of adventure! At Ranger Skills Camp, campers sharpen their senses and learn to move through the forest like skilled scouts. They’ll practice stealth skills like fox walking, natural camouflage, and moving so quietly through the woods that they practically turn invisible. By tuning into the world around them, campers learn to decode Bird Language and anticipate movement in the forest, just like an ancient ranger on an epic quest.
“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 12-year-old camper

What Families Are Saying
“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.”
