From scavenger hunts to “meet-a-tree” games\, campers discover the magic of the outdoors and their role in caring for it.The final stretch blends outdoor science and creative play: exploring water systems and aquatic life\, building bamboo fishing rods\, taking bikes apart\, and even designing a mini bike park. Each week ends with the option for a family ride—because the best adventures are the ones we share. \nWeek 1: Ride & Roam \n\nBike skills intro and rider assessment\nSafety check and gear overview\nMap reading and wayfinding basics\nPark exploration on two wheels\n\nWeek 2: Nature & Stewardship \n\nTrail stewardship and maintenance tools\nWildlife and plant ID games\nPigment-making with natural materials (rock paints\, plant rubbings)\nScavenger hunts\, “Meet-a-Tree\,” and eco play\n\nWeek 3: Water & Wild Things \n\nWhat is a watershed?\nExplore aquatics and reptile habitats\nNatural materials: water filters\, vine weaving\, bamboo rods\nFishing basics and cordage making\n\nWeek 4: Tinker & Create \n\nDeconstruct a bike: how it works and why it matters\nJunk play and wheel weaving\nBuild your own mini bike park\nHike/bike readiness and anatomy of a bike\n\nAbout YJR Outdoors / Yo!
