“Mind Craft Shelter Building”
Ages 6–12
Shelters keep us warm, give us shade, and provide us with a temporary home outside. The basics of shelter building will be covered and actively applied as the children build a home base for their team. Through bartering and teamwork, each ‘tribe’ will be able to face the challenges of living in a dynamic community and creatively find ways to fill the needs of the whole.
Students Will:
- Learn the core principles of sound shelter building
- Discover what materials are readily available in the surrounding environment
- Practice working together as a cooperative whole
- Play games that will help them become familiar with local plants and animals

“Hobbit and Faerie Finders”
Ages 6–12
During our day of Wildheart Hobbit & Faerie Finders, we will be doing just that! Kids will search for perfect hobbit & faerie habitat, and create houses out of plants and natural materials for them to visit and enjoy. As participants unleash their creativity, they will learn the types of plants each magical creature prefers, based on the plant’s medicinal, or lack thereof, value. We will also discover what animals are friends with our hobbits & faeries based on what habitat they share. One important aspect of making faerie houses is choosing where to build. For this, we will wind our way through the trees and around the riverside stones in search of locations that will be the most likely to attract magical creatures. Throughout the day, we will practice hearing the language of birds, which all fantasy creatures know, so that we can decipher the messages of the winged ones. Join us for song, play, art, creativity and fun!
Students Will:
- Open their awareness to explore hidden faerie and hobbit habitats
- Build hobbit and faerie houses
- Activate houses with tones, potions, and chants
- Sing faerie songs
- Discover plant and animal friends of the magical forest creatures

“Special Ops Survivors”
Ages 6–12
Wildheart Special Ops Survivors know that emergencies are unpredictable. They also know that certain skills and behaviors will greatly increase one’s likelihood of surviving any disaster that arises. Survival courses that focus solely on teaching skills without addressing the underlying principles of decision-making can potentially lead people into trouble in real-life survival situations. While learning practical skills such as shelter building, fire making, and foraging is crucial, the ability to make sound decisions under pressure is equally—if not more—important. During our time together students will train in essential mindset for survival. We will cultivate the fundamental qualities of survivors, like a calm mind, an ability to make decisions, maintaining humor, emergency signaling, and many more. Special Ops Survivors will learn to navigate the world of unpredictability while playing team games, making new friends, and preparing themselves to face the challenges of nature. If you would like to be a part of the new generation of survivors, then our Special Ops team is the place to be. This day camp is an introduction to our more extensive survival themed summer camps.
Students Will:
- Learn survival skills
- Problem solve in a group setting
- Train in emergency signaling techniques
- Learn techniques to stay calm in the midst of stress
- Practice the art of decision making
