The
Wilderness
Club
The Wilderness Club is a summer camp founded by our Director, Tina Lokai, and our Director of Education, Amanda MacDermid, in the summer of 2014. For years, Tina and Amanda were eager to find a way to share their knowledge and passion for the natural world with all of the wonderful children in their lives. As a result, The Wilderness Club was created; and it has turned out to be everything they hoped and more!
​
By combining their skill sets and working tirelessly to create extraordinary programs for their campers, Amanda and Tina have successfully become the first and only camp permitted to run in Ringwood State Park, led many exciting hikes, hosted live wildlife presentations, and MUCH more for the past 9 years.

We are so excited to expand our explorations and spend our spring break on the beautiful grounds of Camp Hope again this year! On this 3 day expedition, recruits will explore local hiking trails while analyzing species of backyard birds, critters, and insects. The importance of plants and trees will be discussed with an emphasis on their role during the spring and each recruit will even create their own personal garden. Adventures allow recruits to expand their knowledge and most importantly, gain respect for the natural world.

When you go to sleep, the forest awakens! On this 2 day adventure, you will experience the forest like never before. Our Night Owls will use light systems to catch incredible bugs, experiment with black lights, stargaze, and make their very own citronella candles. They will also go on flashlight hikes along the grounds, study nocturnal creatures, and roast marshmallows under the moonlight. This 2 day adventure is perfect for experienced Wilderness Explorers who are ready for a challenge!
