**Daring Camp for Girls**
This camp is specifically designed to develop curiosity, confidence, physical ability, and a love of the outdoors in girls. With a mix of active outdoor challenges and hands-on learning, this camp offers the perfect balance of movement, creativity, and exploration.
Our Daring Camp for Girls brings together a unique combination of outdoor adventures, engineering challenges, and historical inspiration that teaches girls practical skills, teamwork, and confidence, while encouraging them to try new things, take risks and have fun.
Campers will learn how to make their own charcoal, build lemon-powered clocks and flat scooters, and walk in the footsteps of daring women from history, including Julia Child, who was a spy during World War II before becoming a famous chef. Girls will explore what it means to be resourceful, curious, and brave.
They’ll craft friendship bracelets, build secret gardens and forts, read stories about famous historical women spies in history, play spy games, head out on a hiking adventure, with their new charcoal and sketchbooks to draw the birds, plants and scenery of the local area. The fun continues with basketball shoot-outs paired with trivia challenges, bandana-tying adventures, line dancing, and a final scooter challenge where our girls compete for the winning trophy on the flat scooters they built themselves.
Throughout the week, girls will be inspired to be confident, inventive, and adventurous while engaging in hands-on engineering, outdoor challenges, and creative exploration.

**Dangerous Camp for Boys**
Are you looking for a fun adventurous summer camp for boys? This camp is specifically designed to develop curiosity, physical abilities, and love of the outdoors in boys. With a mix of physical outdoor and classroom activities, this camp offers a perfect combination for boys. Our Dangerous Camp for Boys brings together a unique combination of active outdoor activities and learning that teaches boys about games, hobbies, and skills that every boy should know and love.
The camp is much more than the usual "boys summer camp". With its multitude of themes, this camp is directed with a specific vision of fostering the healthy, all-around growth of boys' body and mind, through healthy, active leisure. The camp will be divided into 'squads', allowing the boys to take part in a friendly competition that culminates on the final day of camp. Sample activities may include full-field nerf gun battles, capture the flag, water gun fights, first aid, obstacle courses, knot tying, go-cart building/racing, making codes and cyphers, bow and arrow making/shooting, team sports and games, juggling, land navigation/map reading, hiking, learning about and reenacting great battles, building and shooting ancient artillery (trebuchet), paper airplanes and more.
Let the games begin!
