What to Bring to Camp
We meet at 8:30 every morning at Horace Mann Elementary's Community Center (behind the school). Please let us know if you can't get there by 9:30 in the morning, so we know that you will be late. Pick up is at 4:30. Here's some things to bring:
- Lunch. Please pack things that don't need refrigeration. We have water, so bring a water bottle so we can refill it throughout the day.
- Wear shoes that are secure on your feet.
- Warm clothes including hats and gloves.
- Don't forget any medications that you might need (epi-pens, etc.)
Outdoor Adventure and Safety
Are your kids going to come home injured every day? No. We are going to take risks, but they are controlled. Your kids will learn how to climb trees properly, without falling. They will learn how to construct friction devices to build a primitive fire. We will construct bows and arrows and fire them, and learn how to use them safely. We will learn how to recognize potentially dangerous situations in the woods, and more importantly, how to avoid them. And we’ll have FUN!
Registration Process
Spots will be filled in order of completed registration packet and payment received via mail, and a waiting list will be created. If you don't receive an email confirmation from us, then you are not registered.
Here's how to register -

Matt will then email you a registration packet. This is a home office number. Feel free to call up until 9PM. Matt can then email or send you the registration packet.
- Fill out the registration packet and mail it in with payment in full. Please have the forms returned to Matt as soon as possible to ensure that your child gets a spot. The registration packet and payment must be mailed in. The address is on the first page of your packet.
- You will receive a confirmation email. Upon receipt of your completed registration packet and payment, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email then we do not have your child registered for camp.
