The air quality cut our week down a day, but On friday following a brief two hour delay, campers and staff came together to finish out the week off in high spirits!

It was an eventful week at the Acres! One of our specialty camps, Luna’s Rising, ran this week. Luna’s Rising is a camp designed for girls to practice forming connections and self-expression. The campers worked on some cool weaving and felting projects. 

Forest Sports spent the week doing what they do best! They practiced their atlatl throwing in the meadow and other fun games. 

The smoke from the Wildfires cut our week a little short, but campers finished the week strong on Friday.
