The forest holds many mysteries, and each step carries a new lesson. This camp introduces campers to survival skills through a series of group challenges. As their woodland wisdom grows, they will unlock new opportunities!

*This camp is for ages 5-10 and runs simultaneously with Deep Forest (ages 9-13), which allows older campers to practice more specialized skills.

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!
