The perfect introduction to Science, Engineering, Technology, and Math in the outdoors! Campers will get messy and handson while they explore the science of light, build natural structures, create a water filter, and more. Campers will also experience the traditional fun of camp through crafts, hiking, singing, and studying the stars.
GSNMT Members: $425, Non-Members: $475
Grades 3 - 5 Super Spies
Get ready to morph into a super spy! Solve mysteries, write with invisible ink, participate in a scavenger hunt, make fingerprint art, and complete the super-spy challenge course; all to solve the question - what’s the biggest threat to nature, and how do we thwart it? Campers will use engineering to craft “traps”, experiment with different methods for finding “blood”, and use math in nature to solve scavenger hunt clues.

Mean Green Science
What’s mean, green, and a mystery to us all? While you may have said “the Grinch!”, you won’t really know until you complete this week of camp! Through hands-on experiments and outdoor exploration, campers will study the mystery of the mean, green stink. They’ll craft, sing, hike, and scavenge their way to the answer in this mystery program.

STEMinist
While we’re inundated with STEM through school, there are so many more avenues to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math to explore! Campers will conduct experiments, craft structures, and show off their new skills during this week of camp while learning about different categories of STEM (geology, range science, and animal science) that are specific to outdoor fields and jobs.

Horsin’ Around (Grades 2 - 4)
Get your hooves wet with this introductory horseback riding program. Campers will learn about: barn and horse safety, how and why we groom, parts of tack, how to lead a horse (with hands-on practice!), different types of horseback riding, how to mount, steer, stop, and ask your horse to go. Campers will also participate in a staff-led (staff on the ground leading) ride, mini arena lesson, OR short trail ride. After spending an hour or two at the barn every day, campers will also get to revel in the other wonderful areas of camp like outdoor cooking, arts and crafts, hiking, and more!
GSNMT Members: $500, Non-Members: $550
Giddy Up (Grades 4 - 6)
Feel the wind through your hair as you ride in the arena and on the trail! Campers will learn about horse and barn safety, grooming, tacking, breeds, colors, what the word ‘equitation’ means, and more. Outside of their 2 – 3 hours with the horses, campers will get to play, cook, craft, sing, and enjoy the other wonderful areas of camp.
