Program Overview

With snow on the ground, or not, participants will enjoy the community of play, song, and story to be shared with peers during this 3-day camp. If you love other Vermont Wilderness School programs — like Otter Camp, Blue Heron, Shambhala Camp, or Foxwalk— you’ll love this one! (And if you’ve never done one of our programs, this is a great opportunity to try us out…). Also consider April Break 3-Day Camp!

Instructors

Bob has always loved being outdoors. Before moving to Vermont in 2006, he was program director and naturalist at a summer camp / outdoor retreat center in his home state of Pennsylvania. Since then Bob has become a beloved mainstay at VWS, directing youth programs year-round, most notably Foxwalk Forest School, Teen Leadership Camp, Foxwalk Day Camp, and Otter Day Camp.
