SUMMARY:Leadership Training Camp
DESCRIPTION:Entering grades 7-9\, only \nSession 2: With Monya Relles and Katie Koerten\nSession 4: With Peter Lamdin and Monya Relles \nMondays-Fridays\, 8:45am-3pm\nSession 2: July 5 – 15 (two weeks – No camp July 4)\nSession 4: July 25 – August 5 (two weeks) \nSession 2: Tier A: $906 Tier B: $725 Tier C: $544 Tier D: $362\nSession 4: Tier A: $995 Tier B: $795 Tier C: $600 Tier D: $400 \nLTC is where new leaders can develop their skills as naturalists\, activity leaders\, outdoors people\, and community members\, and returning leaders can strengthen the skills they’ve been developing. This is done through our “spiral” system\, with spirals representing your experience in LTC (spiral 1 for first year campers\, spiral 2 for second year campers\, etc.) and each spiral holding different expectations and skills. While camp will\, by necessity\, look different this year\, we plan to continue with the same spirit of fun\, trust\, learning\, and skill building that are the hallmarks of LTC. We’ll find ways to adapt favorite games\, challenges\, and activities from years past\, and to develop new ones. \nLeadership Training Camp is jam-packed with outdoor adventures\, group challenges\, nature hikes and discussions on what makes good leaders. We offer up a combination of games and songs with leadership skills you can use as a Hitchcock Junior Counselor\, at school\, and just in life! We plan to incorporate some of our favorite activities from previous years\, such as rock climbing\, ropes course challenges and our camping overnight\, along with new activities\, challenges and field trips. We’ll take time to develop as a group\, to work with the younger campers to put what we learn into practice\, and to be campers ourselves: playing in the woods and learning about and exploring nature. \nLTC is an active camp\, but time is also spent listening and learning from each other by sharing knowledge and talking about our experiences and how they help us become better leaders. It is designed for all Hitchcock campers entering grades 7-9 looking to learn what it takes to lead others in the outdoors. It is designed for those who may want to be a Counselor-in-Training or Junior Counselor at Hitchcock or other camps\, who want a chance to develop leadership skills that can apply to other parts of their life\, or who just want to learn new skills and have some fun.  Please note that drop-off and pick-up times for LTC may change on some days depending on our schedule for that day.

SUMMARY:Nature Summer Camp: No Place Like Home
DESCRIPTION:Young Naturalists: Entering grades 1-2\nEco-investigators: Entering grades 3-4\nNature Explorers: Entering grades 5-6 \nMondays-Fridays\, 8:45am-3pm\nSession 4: July 25 – August 5 (two weeks)\nTier A: $900 Tier B: $725 Tier C: $545 Tier D: $365 \nExplore the interconnectedness of our lives and our community by diving into our local habitats! We will build our sense of place as we investigate where our food comes from\, how our ecosystems work\, and who has resided on this land across time. Field trips to local mountains and rivers will allow us to investigate our ancient past with hands-on exploration. We will also investigate how our home has changed over time\, examining the effects of climate change on our environment. There is so much to learn about the special place we live\, and we’ll do so while singing\, exploring\, playing games\, and learning from one another!

SUMMARY:Leadership Training Camp
DESCRIPTION:Entering grades 7-9\, only \nSession 2: With Monya Relles and Katie Koerten\nSession 4: With Peter Lamdin and Monya Relles \nMondays-Fridays\, 8:45am-3pm\nSession 2: July 5 – 15 (two weeks – No camp July 4)\nSession 4: July 25 – August 5 (two weeks) \nSession 2: Tier A: $906 Tier B: $725 Tier C: $544 Tier D: $362\nSession 4: Tier A: $995 Tier B: $795 Tier C: $600 Tier D: $400 \nLTC is where new leaders can develop their skills as naturalists\, activity leaders\, outdoors people\, and community members\, and returning leaders can strengthen the skills they’ve been developing. This is done through our “spiral” system\, with spirals representing your experience in LTC (spiral 1 for first year campers\, spiral 2 for second year campers\, etc.) and each spiral holding different expectations and skills. While camp will\, by necessity\, look different this year\, we plan to continue with the same spirit of fun\, trust\, learning\, and skill building that are the hallmarks of LTC. We’ll find ways to adapt favorite games\, challenges\, and activities from years past\, and to develop new ones. \nLeadership Training Camp is jam-packed with outdoor adventures\, group challenges\, nature hikes and discussions on what makes good leaders. We offer up a combination of games and songs with leadership skills you can use as a Hitchcock Junior Counselor\, at school\, and just in life! We plan to incorporate some of our favorite activities from previous years\, such as rock climbing\, ropes course challenges and our camping overnight\, along with new activities\, challenges and field trips. We’ll take time to develop as a group\, to work with the younger campers to put what we learn into practice\, and to be campers ourselves: playing in the woods and learning about and exploring nature. \nLTC is an active camp\, but time is also spent listening and learning from each other by sharing knowledge and talking about our experiences and how they help us become better leaders. It is designed for all Hitchcock campers entering grades 7-9 looking to learn what it takes to lead others in the outdoors. It is designed for those who may want to be a Counselor-in-Training or Junior Counselor at Hitchcock or other camps\, who want a chance to develop leadership skills that can apply to other parts of their life\, or who just want to learn new skills and have some fun.  Please note that drop-off and pick-up times for LTC may change on some days depending on our schedule for that day.

Whether it’s for nests\, homes\, camouflage or catching prey\, animals have a lot of reasons for their architecture. At this camp session we will explore the construction skills of animals\, and build creations of our own. While we are at it\, we will learn about the features of Hitchcock Center’s own “Living Building” and the choices we made to make our building kind to the planet. We will also utilize our own abilities as animal builders to work on our outdoor classroom spaces. As always\, hikes\, projects\, songs and games are all part of the fun!

SUMMARY:Leadership Training Camp
DESCRIPTION:Entering grades 7-9\, only \nSession 2: With Monya Relles and Katie Koerten\nSession 4: With Peter Lamdin and Monya Relles \nMondays-Fridays\, 8:45am-3pm\nSession 2: July 5 – 15 (two weeks – No camp July 4)\nSession 4: July 25 – August 5 (two weeks) \nSession 2: Tier A: $906 Tier B: $725 Tier C: $544 Tier D: $362\nSession 4: Tier A: $995 Tier B: $795 Tier C: $600 Tier D: $400 \nLTC is where new leaders can develop their skills as naturalists\, activity leaders\, outdoors people\, and community members\, and returning leaders can strengthen the skills they’ve been developing. This is done through our “spiral” system\, with spirals representing your experience in LTC (spiral 1 for first year campers\, spiral 2 for second year campers\, etc.) and each spiral holding different expectations and skills. While camp will\, by necessity\, look different this year\, we plan to continue with the same spirit of fun\, trust\, learning\, and skill building that are the hallmarks of LTC. We’ll find ways to adapt favorite games\, challenges\, and activities from years past\, and to develop new ones. \nLeadership Training Camp is jam-packed with outdoor adventures\, group challenges\, nature hikes and discussions on what makes good leaders. We offer up a combination of games and songs with leadership skills you can use as a Hitchcock Junior Counselor\, at school\, and just in life! We plan to incorporate some of our favorite activities from previous years\, such as rock climbing\, ropes course challenges and our camping overnight\, along with new activities\, challenges and field trips. We’ll take time to develop as a group\, to work with the younger campers to put what we learn into practice\, and to be campers ourselves: playing in the woods and learning about and exploring nature. \nLTC is an active camp\, but time is also spent listening and learning from each other by sharing knowledge and talking about our experiences and how they help us become better leaders. It is designed for all Hitchcock campers entering grades 7-9 looking to learn what it takes to lead others in the outdoors. It is designed for those who may want to be a Counselor-in-Training or Junior Counselor at Hitchcock or other camps\, who want a chance to develop leadership skills that can apply to other parts of their life\, or who just want to learn new skills and have some fun.  Please note that drop-off and pick-up times for LTC may change on some days depending on our schedule for that day.

SUMMARY:Nature Summer Camp: Animals that Build
DESCRIPTION:Young Naturalists: Entering grades 1-2\nEco-investigators: Entering grades 3-4\nNature Explorers: Entering grades 5-6 \nMondays-Fridays\, 8:45am-3pm\nSession 2: July 5 – 15 (two weeks – No camp July 4)\nTier A: $819 Tier B: $655 Tier C: $491 Tier D: $328 \nThey don’t use blueprints or fancy tools\, but animals can be amazing builders by using natural materials like leaves\, sticks and even spit! Whether it’s for nests\, homes\, camouflage or catching prey\, animals have a lot of reasons for their architecture. At this camp session we will explore the construction skills of animals\, and build creations of our own. While we are at it\, we will learn about the features of Hitchcock Center’s own “Living Building” and the choices we made to make our building kind to the planet. We will also utilize our own abilities as animal builders to work on our outdoor classroom spaces. As always\, hikes\, projects\, songs and games are all part of the fun!
