Forest Tinkering Camp at Sun Star Farm is a small group of 12 campers led by 2 counselors. Forest Tinkering Camp is very different from Tinkering School’s format. Campers spend most of the day in the forest based in the camp’s new shelter, learning and developing a variety of outdoor skills: flint-knapping to make arrowheads, chopping wood for daily campfires used for cooking, gathering native plants, making fishing nets, building a water filtration system, whittling sticks into tools, improving in archery, and telling stories of yesteryear. As for projects, they will be mostly individual. Campers will need a certain level of maturity and be able to follow instructions to work and play safely in this environment.
They save 4 spots for girls during the registration period, so they end up with a nice ratio of boys to girls. If any of the “girl” spots are not taken by March 1st, they open them to boys on the waitlist. There is a 6:1 counselor-to-camper ratio. This camp is for children ages 9-12.
Camp is $499/week. Early care starts at 8am and is $35/week. Aftercare runs from 3pm-5:30pm and is $125/week. A monthly payment plan is available at checkout.
