Wildcraft Workshop

Day Program

AGES 7-9

In this hands-on wilderness camp, young adventurers will spend their days building, creating, and exploring the natural world. Using simple tools and materials from the environment around them, campers will learn how to craft useful objects, dream up forest hideouts, and bring wild ideas to life.

But WildCraft isn’t just about making things—it’s about full-on adventure. When we’re not crafting, we’ll be hiking through forests and meadows, paddling across mountain lakes or rivers, and trying out kid-friendly rock climbs on real stone. Each day blends creativity with movement as campers learn practical outdoor skills, solve problems together, and test their creations in the wild.

By the end of the week, they’ll head home with muddy shoes, sun-warmed smiles, newfound confidence, and the pride that comes from building something real and trying something brave out in the great outdoors.

A detailed daily itinerary will be provided to you on the Monday morning of the program.

Telluride Academy's Overnight Policy

Our talented instructors work hard to combat student homesickness on overnight programs. For many students, this experience might be their first time camping or away from home! In the days leading up to the overnight(s), the instructors have positive conversations with the groups to get them excited and prepared for their overnight adventures. This dynamic gets interrupted when a student is picked up early from their overnight. For this reason, we can not accommodate early pick-ups, unless in the case of an emergency. If your child does not want to attend the overnight, or if you have prior commitments that require early pick-up accommodations, we ask that you consider choosing a day program instead. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
