Blackwood Nature Camp is a week-long overnight camp in Hempstead, TX for ages 8-14. Our goal is simple: get kids outside and active! Campers enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming (swim test required), archery, 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. They stargaze, tell stories, and roast s’mores at night 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.
