Blackwood Nature Camp is a week-long overnight camp for ages 8-14 located in Hempstead, TX. Our goal is simple: get kids outside and active! Campers enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming (swim test required), paddle-boarding, and forest games. They take classes like natural dyeing, cane-pole fishing, and cooking. They learn about wildlife in workshops hosted by local experts. New this year we have paddle boarding and archery added to the roster of activities. At night, they stargaze, tell stories, and roast s’mores by the campfire.
Campers learn about nature, animals, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. With the support of highly trained counselors, they’ll explore the wilderness and discover what secrets and wisdom the forest has to tell. This life-changing week of adventure offers children the opportunity to build a relationship with nature and safely explore the great outdoors. At Blackwood, we take pride in being inclusive to all children.
