Our week in the forest includes full days of nature games, songs, wildcrafting, hiking, tracking, and exploring as we build our naturalist skills and deepen our connection to nature and our community. We'll leave plenty of time to follow our curiosity,  build fairy houses, forts, and shelters, and enjoy the childhood wonder of a beautiful summer day! Red Fox is led by our full-time teachers who also teach our Forest School.

Sarah is absolutely amazing. [My daughter] ADORES her and the staff. She’s asked to do all her summer camp weeks at Merrohawke next year.

We love the staff at Merrohawke! Sarah, Cindy, Barri and the CITs were great. I always love seeing how many alumni come back to help out and how awesome the ratios are. You continue to keep the group numbers down and we really appreciate that. The quality of the program is never compromised.

Sarah is incredible, as always. She is always in a pleasant mood, gives feedback about kids' behavior in a constructive way and my son adores her. My son was in awe about how some of the younger teachers were former students.

Staff was wonderful at pick up and drop off. My son was very nervous and having games started rather than just sitting around really made the drop off so much easier. Your staff is so kind and wonderful. This program is my son's world; he loves it there. Loves the connection to the teachers and the land.
We are beyond grateful for all of your programming and helping mold our kid into a person who cares about the environment, has an appreciation for nature and loves being outdoors, despite the weather.
He comes home happy, dirty and with a sense of ease.

I like that you have adults working there. It makes me feel safer about my kids being watched after. (Some camps have really young staff with no adults running the groups.)
