Farm Camps

MD Cubs Camp
Calleva Camp 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, storytime, 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.

NEW IN 2024! Explorers is still a true sampler experience to get our young campers trying lots of different outdoor adventures. This year we are offering more activities for all campers to try!

Weeks 1, 11, and 12 will be Endless Summer Adventures, a true Explorer sampler featuring a variety of fun Calleva activities PLUS a few field trips added into each week’s itinerary.

When registering for Weeks 2-10, 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.

A few important notes for parents:

• Weeks 1-12, these 3 themes provide a framework for Calleva’s classic Explorers sampler rotation.
• ALL themes include: council gathering in the morning and afternoon, kayaking, archery, creek play, 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.

Sample MD Explorers Schedule — COMING SOON!! The sample schedule will be available before registration opens in January.
