My wish for you this summer is that camp will always have a special place in your heart and you will come back again and again.Īs I read the above letter, written many years past I realize that nothing in what I have written talks about COVID, or addresses the issues we are still facing in 2023. I never dreamed that when I got older I would get the privilege of still having camp as such an important part of my life and that I would get to share that special experience with so many new and old campers every year. The summers I spent at camp were never long enough and once I arrived at home I would start making my plans for the following year. It was exciting to hear the bell ringing first thing in the morning in unison with the just waking birds, to pull your clothes on quickly and rush down to the dining hall through the fog and dew covered grass for breakfast and another fun filled day. I remember being very young, laying in the cabin at night listening to the sounds of frogs croaking and the hoot of an owl, and shuffling off to the shower house late at night while looking up at the sky full of stars or a moon so full it lit up everything as if it were daytime. My parents were working at camp before I was born and it has always been a part of my summer time experience. You can say that I was raised into camping. In a very short time you will leave the hustle and bustle of your home and start an adventure which we hope you will remember for the rest of your life. ![]() These students experience hands-on primitive skills through knot tying, fire building, local fauna and wildlife identification, and wild crafting.Greetings to all Cedar Lodge Campers and Parents, Students are immersed in nature on a weekly basis through hikes, nature walks, lake swimming, creek exploration, campfire baking, and foraging for wild edibles. ![]() The Forest School Programs of Valley Forest School are focused on nature-based skills including foraging, wild crafting, whittling, fire building, shelter building, and survival skills.
