Northern Explorers is an all-outdoor summer adventure featuring nature study and survival skills, homesteading projects, traditional sports, and classical arts. Each summer is a new adventure with new experiences awaiting your camper! Activities may include hiking, archery, falconry, swordsmanship, horseback, rafting, climbing, gardening, cooking, weaving, bushcraft, orienteering, nature journaling, singing, classical theater, and more. The camp runs for three weeks, Monday to Friday, from 9:00–3:00. Campers will need to bring a picnic lunch each day, as well as be prepared to spend the entire day outdoors (indoor restrooms available). Most of our activities take place on our campus, but we also bus off-site at least once per week. Families can look forward to connecting with each other at our campfire cookout in the final week of camp. We’ll see you this summer!
