What is forest magic?
At Forest Magic Camp and Forest Fridays campers join a group of young explorers for an introductory wilderness experience that builds comfort and confidence with outdoor, camping, and hiking skills while developing strong, unique, and inclusive friendships.
Campers learn to support each other and share in their challenges and victories as they get their hands dirty learning about Coconino County forests, animals, and geology.
At camp, they get to test their skills with slack lines, hammocks, hiking, and bouldering all while enjoying the fun of place-based outdoor crafts and the company of many caring adult and teen Trail Wizards and trail Wizards in Training dedicated to exploring the magic of the forest!
Kind Words
“She is so much more independent now!”
“She is a much stronger hiker than she was before camp!”
“She can hardly sleep the night before a Forest Friday Adventure!”
“He would stay here all summer!”
“Forest Magic has played such a ground breaking role breaking me out of my shell…I love Forest Magic so much, so I hope you do too.”
“...they absolutely loved Forest Magic camp this summer - thank you so much for all that u do!
Our son has severe allergies to nuts and sesame and is quite careful how he manages food in group settings. This is the first time in his life that he came home after a couple of days at camp and said, “I can leave my epi kit at home!” It signified his comfort with your food systems and I think it’s the first time he felt safe letting his guard down in a group in this way. What a restorative experience.”
