New challenges await those who delve deeper into the forest. This camp focuses on advanced wilderness skills: what can you achieve without matches, ropes, or guidebooks?

*This is an advanced course for older campers (ages 9-13) who are able to travel farther away from basecamp and practice more advanced wilderness skills. This camp runs simultaneously with Forest Edge (ages 5-10), which is designed for younger and less-experienced campers.

This summer, join your friends at Piedmont Wildlife Center as we connect with nature (and each other!) at our award-winning outdoor camps. Explore some of the Triangle’s best parks, play exciting forest games, go creek crawling, meet native NC wildlife, and more. Experience the Best Summer Camp in Durham (INDY Week Best of Durham 2023) for yourself this summer!

To all our old-timers and newcomers, we are excited to welcome you back into the wild!
