program requirements
Each camper is expected to show up to each day prepared. Camp leaders may specify particular items needed for specialty days during the week, notifications delivered in person and over email.
When packing your outdoor explorer for the day, please remember that each camper will be expected to play outdoors for much of the day, and will be hiking through the woods! A memo will be sent out in the days leading up to specific longer hike days to ensure preparedness. Comfortable shoes will make the program much more enjoyable!
Camp days may include an extra snack if it is included in the lesson, to be distributed by camp leaders. The start of each session will see that these snack options be displayed to parents, to ensure the comfort of knowing what is being eaten. The presence of any allergen in any group snack for any child will be catered to, and safety will be ensured.
If you are unable to supply the above list of daily expectations, please contact us. Camp leaders will do their best to supply missing items, just need to know ahead of time!
Materials
Campers will complete at least 1 art project daily, reflecting the lesson. Given that we are doing our best to practice sustainability in the Adirondacks, donations of recycled material from parents is greatly appreciated, though not required. Donations can be given at any point in the program, as materials unused this year will be used in the future, though ideally we will be able to collect items prior to the start of the first session.
The camp leaders will host a donation collection at the Dewey Mountain Recreation Center on July 2nd and on July 9th from 10:00 - 2:00.
Donation items can include, but are not limited to:
- Lunch and snacks
- Backpack
- Sneakers/Hiking Boots

SUSTAINABLE LIVING IN THE ADIRONDACKS
Campers will spend the week learning about the plants and animals of the Adirondacks through art, outdoor exposure, guest speakers, group storytimes, and immersive lessons. The week-long cumulative session emphasizes the importance of “leave no trace” policies and respect for natural surroundings and animals. At the end of the week campers will take home a plethora of craft projects, daily drawings, and lessons learned.

LIVING WILD
Campers will learn basic species identification, general wilderness survival lessons, and the importance of caring for our environment. Lessons are cumulative, consisting of art projects, group storytimes, outdoor exposure, guest speakers, and immersive games. The session finishes with a mock camping trip (no overnight) to practice what we have learned, with an emphasis on “leave no trace” policies. Campers will create a daily drawing log and a plethora of craft projects to take home at the end of the week.

INTRODUCTION TO YI JIN JING
Our friend George Locker will introduce participants to the Chinese exercise called the yi jin jing, the yi jin jing, which translates as “transforming the tendons”. Yi jin jing stretches the tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue of the upper body and arms, increases range and ease of rotation, and in time improves the way your body feels.
SUMMER SESSIONS:
JULY 5, 12, 19, 26 AUGUST 2, 9, 16, 23,
9 AM TO 10 AM AT RIVERSIDE PARK (BY THE BAND SHELL)
5:30-6:30 AT DEWEY MOUNTAIN RECREATION CENTER

Yi Jin Jing is good for anyone. It can be especially helpful to older athletes who are strong but tight, and to people in pain due to muscle/tendon issues. The Yi Jin Jing is done standing, indoors or out, in sneakers and comfortable clothing. Sessions will introduce different positions participants can incorporate into their own routine.
