If you like to explore, dig, hike, and have collections of things from nature, then this is the camp for you! Campers will explore the Wissahickon Creek by wading with fish nets, and by digging and flipping rocks to see what creatures we can find that live there. We will spend mornings in the woods searching for treasures and afternoons in the science lab observing our treasures and learning about them. We will make some nature–related crafts, have a morning snack, lunch in the cafeteria, and a swim at midday. So if you want to know who lives under rocks and why, we will see you there!

These sites define Philadelphia history for most people.

But did you know that the first anti-slavery speech in the United States was in Germantown? That slaves worked and hid in Mount Airy?

That the first Gay Rights March was in Philadelphia?

Using handson activities, field trips, guest speakers, and primary and secondary sources, this camp explores the hidden history of our city and its environs to create a more complete and complex picture of our shared past. In one week, we journey from the lives of the Leni Lenape before contact, and through

early and modern history to the present. We’ll explore how people came to Philadelphia, try our hand at some of their activities, and look at and listen to some of the cultural works they created.

Outdoor Adventurers Camp Outdoor Adventurers Camp is designed to get boys and girls ages 9–11 outside each day to explore the Wissahickon valley. The camp is small, limited to 15 campers and three counselors, allowing us great mobility and the ability to tackle activities that larger groups could not. We will hike the trails and learn about native flora and fauna. We will visit the Lenape Indian statue on our daylong hike to the Wissahickon environmental education center to learn how the Native Americans lived in the valley for thousands of years. We will work together and build trust in one another on the elements of Springside’s ropes course, high in the canopy of the tulip poplars.

We will learn the basics of archery in the woods behind Springside. We will venture off campus, spending the day canoeing on the Brandywine River. We will visit Ringing Rock Park and explore a huge boulder field where the rocks ring and hike a stream bed to a 20-foot waterfall.

We will visit the Philadelphia Rock Gym to the learn the basics of rock climbing.
