Farm Camps

MD Cubs Camp
Calleva Cubs experience a wide variety of outdoor adventures that help build enthusiasm and confidence to try new things as well as a sense of teamwork and appreciation for the natural world. Cubs will enjoy a lightly structured day, including exploration, story time, singing, and free time to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The Cubs are an extension of Calleva’s fall & spring Farm & Forest Cubs, which adopts the “Forest School” philosophy originating in Scandinavia in the 1950s. We believe in the power of purposeful play in the outdoors as a way for young children to build confidence, experience nature, and engage in group learning.

Explorer parents will select from the following themes at the time of their registration:

1. Great Heights highlights climbing & high ropes experiences, so these Explorers get their feet off the ground every day
2. Critters & Creatures provides touchpoints with all of our farm animals, including the horses, as these Explorers rotate through a variety of agri-eco adventures
3. 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!
