Thorne’s Wild Skills camp takes a love of outdoor adventures to the next level! Campers will take on the wild as they practice essential survival skills and explore more remote areas of Boulder County open spaces. Through interacting with nature to find the things humans need to survive, campers will develop self-confidence and an appreciation for the bounty that the natural world provides. Wild Skills is for campers who love to work with their hands, create, and share their nature experiences in inventive ways. Because there is always more to discover in nature and skills to hone, this is a camp to enjoy again and again. Each adventure will be a healthy dose of summer fun!
Wild Skills is best suited for campers who are going into 4th-6th grade. Campers should be prepared to hike one to three miles each day.
