Step through a portal into an enchanted world of adventure and imagination … a living story that unfolds among the natural wonders of the woods! Enchanted Forest finds us in a world of trolls, wizards, wonderful magic, and dangerous plots. The children of earth may be exactly the heroes called for in a time of need. Each day brings new quests and adventures, with our campers at the center of the story!

Please note that Enchanted Forest is quite different from our other summer camps. While we weave our love for the natural world into the story, the focus shifts from wilderness skills and activities to imagination, magic, and seeing the world in all of its wonder. 

Please be aware: The Enchanted Forest experience can sometimes be intense and emotional for younger children with vivid imaginations—that’s part of what makes it so exciting! Also, because we’re traveling on a journey, campers will walk between one and two miles each day, potentially with some elevation.
