Some of the best time to experience the Minnesota wilderness is the hours leading up to twilight! Our Evening Adventures are 1-1.5 hour programs that vary due to weather and the interest of our groups.
Twilight Canoeing - The name sort of says it all! Weather permitting, students will be given the opportunity to head back to Hidden Lake, a small lake near camp, to silent canoe. Deer, beavers, turtles, birds and other wildlife are often seen. There is always a possibility of seeing fox or bears as well!
Frog/Toad Hunts - If we have had a particularly wet week, the frogs are out in large numbers. Search for Wood Frogs, Leopard Frogs and Spring Peepers. We also often times see tadpoles or American Toads.
Fort Building - Out in our woods are 4 sets of forts that were started by our staff and continued to be added on to by our students! Spend some time adding rooms or features on to the already existing structures.
Group Games - Just go play outside! Big games of Capture the Flag, Three Goal Soccer, Quidditch, Bashball, or Ultimate Frisbee are organized as well as smaller tag games and relays.
Campfires - Sit around the campfire and learn some great camp songs while listening to stories and hearing the sounds of nature!
Lakeshore Exploration - Roll up you pants, grab a bucket and net and head out along the shores of Whitefish Lake in search of Drgaonfly larva, Crayfish, Minnows and anything else you can find. If you catch smaller fish or bugs, feed them to one of the 3 Wood Turtles that we have!
100 Inch Hunt - Measure out a 100 inch square on the ground, kneel down and see what you can find! Bugs, worms, plants, whatever! If you catch bugs or worms, feed them to one of the turtles!
Team Hotdog - at its core a hotdog meal outside at one of our campfire sites, however, we throw some twists at you, too!
