Drawing inspiration from movies and games, this session will focus on building obstacle courses, problem solving, riddles, games, and improvisational engineering. We will utilize several indoor and outdoor spaces to design and create fun and exciting initiatives that foster creativity and movement.  Activities may include creating obstacle courses, improvisational engineering challenges, Among Us game initiatives, paper airplane / airplane design and contests, golf shot challenges, frisbee trick shots, scavenger hunts and orienteering. 

Campers, bring your spirit for adventure as we explore our natural environment and learn how to build primitive shelters and forts, and use specific plants as cordage, connectors, and supports for these structures. Activities may include basic nature/environmental education such as plant identification and animal tracking/study, to age-appropriate survival skills and primitive shelter building. Campers will gain confidence and comfort  being outdoors, while having a great time and staying active. 

Repurpose, redesign, reimagine! Using a variety of recyclable, old, unused or outdated items, campers will reimagine new lives for found objects. In addition to items campers wish to bring, TCS will supply plenty of fun, exciting, and useful leftover items from the school year. Items may include but are not limited to books, frames, electronics, small wooden furniture, instruments, containers, jewelry, clocks, home decor, etc. There is no telling what this crew will reimagine and create at the end of this week! 

This high-adventure, 6-day, 5-night expedition will have campers paddling two National Scenic Rivers: the Buffalo river, located in Northern Arkansas, and the Eleven Point river, located in southern Missouri. Campers will utilize National Park Service campgrounds while floating the Buffalo river and gravel bar camp while on the Eleven Point river. Both rivers are truly stunning in terms of natural beauty, featuring pristine springs, caves, and waterfalls. This expedition is only offered to our older, more experienced campers with previous paddling experience as the upper section of the Buffalo is one of the most technical sections that can be floated in the entire Midwest.

We are excited to bring back Babysitter’s Training Camp. TCS nurse, Jen Martin, will teach the skills necessary to be a successful and safe babysitter. This course offers hands-on training in skills needed to babysit such as: developmentally appropriate play, safe handling of infants and toddlers, feeding, diapering, and much more.  This course will also include the opportunity to earn American Red Cross Babysitter’s Training Certification and infant CPR and first aid certification.
