A Sense of Wonder

Last Child in the Woods

My mother, Alice O’Ferrall has always been passionate about instilling a “sense of wonder” in our campers.  Growing up going on hikes with her, she passed that passion along to me.  Today, it is hard for boys to find a place where they can be “unplugged” from the rest of the world.  It is our hope that boys will come to camp and be forever change by having a summer filled with seeing the stars from our athletic field, catching a frog with cabin mates, sitting on a cabin porch in the evening and hearing the crickets, racing on a bike through the woods or listening to the rush of the river as they go to sleep.  Boys need a place “to be boys.”  And they can do that at camp in the midst of a beautiful piece of God’s creation!

Here are two books that are very near and dear to our hearts.

Enjoy!
