For children entering grades 6-8 in Fall 2023

Not all who wander are lost! This camp will have ambitious hikers exploring Calvert County nature parks on foot. Campers will learn basic hiking safety and play trail games while enjoying the sights along the way. Campers will also learn outdoor survival skills such as tracking, shelter building, and orienteering. We will end the week with an overnight camping trip to western Maryland where we will hike the rock maze at Garrett State Forest, see the beauty of Swallow Falls State Park and conquer Hoye-Crest, Maryland's highest peak!
