Session Themes

At Camp Kingfisher each session has a theme to guide our explorations and discoveries. Each session includes ALL camp activities, especially canoeing.

If you sign up for the same session more than once you will encounter some new content and some repetition. Please note there is a mis-print in our brochure. Session 2.1 is Fascinating Forests & Session 2.2 is Rollin' on the River.

New tools to help you better understand what your child is doing at camp.

What do campers do all day? What are we learning and why? At Camp K each session has a theme, each theme has special activities and each age group has goals. We want to share all of that with you, so you can share in your camping experience. Our Camper Curriculum Criteria will be posted on your child's camp schedule, which you will receive on the first day of camp.

Sessions 1, 2.2, 6, 7 & 3GH - Rolling on the River

"Like a swift river, an active mind never stagnates." --Author Unknown

Our watershed is a habitat bursting with life & adventure. We explore the many ways of the river, its inhabitants and how we all connect to our main source of water: the Chattahoochee River. Come learn about the birds that nest underground, bug-eating plants, frogs and toads, and the largest rodent in North America! Wander through our Wetlands and learn about their significance and the importance of water conservation. The river is constantly changing and always has something new to discover! Please note there is a mis-print in our brochure. Session 2.1 is Fascinating Forests & Session 2.2 is Rollin' on the River.

Sessions 2, 2.1, 3, 5 & 1GH - Fascinating Forests

"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks" -- John Muir

There is so much life happening in our small forest! Every day there is something new to dig into from deep down in the dirt to way up high in the canopy of the tress. Learn the habitats and adaptations of all who inhabit this complex world and how diverse the forest can be! Set forth on an adventure guaranteed to uncover all the mystery that surrounds you in the forest! Please note there is a mis-print in our brochure. Session 2.1 is Fascinating Forests.

Sessions 2.3, 4, 8, 9, 2GH & 4GH - Planet Protectors

"Nobody makes a greater mistake than one who does nothing because one could only do a little" -- Edmund Burke

Taking care of Mother Earth is no easy feat, but that doesn't mean it can't be done by learning how to tread lightly on planet earth. Find out how humans impact the environment, and understand the harmful effects of pollution.

Investigate how plants and animals can all be affected by the waste just tossed away or the light bulb left on. Do small steps lead to big changes and ideas? You bet!!
