Discover how the Lenape lived and survived in our wooded wetland forests.  Participate in a simulated artifact excavation, build shelters, play games, learn to make fire by friction and enjoy a campfire.  

 

Day 3—Thursday: Wild Art

After we search for natural materials found in our habitat, we’ll weave mosaics, create nature journals, pressed flower bookmarks and more!

Campers are introduced to nature concepts using stories, hikes, crafts, exploration, and hands-on discovery.

 

Snacks will be provided.
