This past July and August, more than 750 campers between the ages of 6 and 17 took over the Brick Works with their curiosities, imaginations and desire to play outdoors.
Together we whittled roasting sticks using freshly harvested willow, filled the air with mist during water play, built forts of all sizes using loose parts, observed frogs, turtles, egrets and fish in the surrounding ponds, pedaled our way across the ravines, gathered around a fire to sing songs and share stories and so much more.
But we couldn’t have done any of this if it wasn’t for our wonderful camp team who went above and beyond in fostering an incredible environment for kids to have fun, play, explore, take risks, make friends and connect with nature.
To celebrate our 2025 Adventure Camp season, here are some highlights in photos.
