WSSL faculty Mr. Steve Cossey, Miss Erin Winkles, and Mr. Zack Zackmann invite campers to our Enchanted Forest Camp, an outdoor adventure filled with wonder and imagination! Campers will step into a magical woodland world, exploring our outdoor spaces and discovering the enchanted creatures that may be hiding along the way. Perhaps they’ll stumble upon a fairy home, catch a glimpse of a dragon’s tear, or uncover other forest surprises. As they wander through the enchanted forest, campers will collect natural materials to create their own fairy homes, bringing their imaginations to life outdoors. While the majority of the camp experience takes place outside, campers will enjoy a daily indoor restorative moment for rest, relaxation, and quiet connection. Indoor space will also be available as needed in the case of inclement weather.
