MD Explorers (Ages 6-9)
MD Explorers Camp
Calleva Farm provides a healthy mix of adventure, agriculture, and eco-awareness, so our Explorers are fully immersed in sweat and dirt every day. And it’s pure AWESOMENESS! From sharpening their archery skills to learning about our farm animals, expect each day’s all-outdoors itinerary to be focused on engaging activities, friends, and games.

Explorer parents will select from the following themes at the time of their registration:
- Great Heights highlights climbing & high ropes experiences, so these Explorers get their feet off the ground every day
- Critters & Creatures provides touchpoints with all of our farm animals, including the horses, as these Explorers rotate through a variety of agri-eco adventures
- Quest is a week of exploration activities, featuring map reading, “balance biking,” geo caching, and other woods-oriented adventures.
Each theme follows the framework for Calleva’s classic sampler-style rotation: Council gathering in the morning and afternoon, with the day spent experimenting with kayaking, archery, creek play, theme activities, and more!
- Coming for multiple weeks? Try each theme so your Explorer can keep it fresh!
- Friend requests are still possible, BUT THEY CAN ONLY BE HONORED WITHIN a theme.
- We are NOT ABLE TO SWITCH campers out of their theme on-demand because we plan and staff themes based on a set capacity determined for January registration.
New for 2026! Register for all 3 themes before February 1, and your Explorer will receive a specialty Farm Explorers Sweatshirt. On Feb 1, eligible campers will receive an email request for sizing information and we will mail your sweatshirt in the Spring!
