Once upon a time, in the sparkling sunshine of California, where the palm trees sway gently to the rhythm of the ocean breeze and the mountains stand tall with their majestic beauty, was a vibrant tribe of tiny artists known as the 'Sketching Sunchasers'. These weren't your run-of-the-mill kiddos! No sir-ee, they were a lively bunch of little Picassos, with pencils for wands and papers for magic carpets. Their drawings would come alive with vibrant colors that would put the most exquisite sunset to shame. They weren't just drawing; they were sketching their dreams on a canvas of infinite possibilities. Heading this extraordinary brigade was an imaginary character named Doodle Dude, a pencil with a cowboy hat and a bewitching grin. Doodle Dude was no ordinary pencil, his graphite tip was sharpened not just to sketch, but also to tickle out giggles and laughter from everyone. He had a contagious and a spontaneous sense of humor so powerful that even the grumpiest of grizzly bears couldn’t resist chuckling. With his unmatchable wit, Doodle Dude would often entertain the Sunchasers with puns and silly jokes. "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! Got it? They 'make up' everything!" he'd chuckle at his own joke while the children laughed, rolling around in the California grass. And so, in the golden state of California, under the ever-watchful eye of the sun, the Sketching Sunchasers and their beloved Doodle Dude painted their dreams, giggled, and made memories that were as warm and radiant as the Californian sun itself. Life was one big, beautiful sketchpad!

At Camp Wildcraft we believe that having campers of different ages creates a unique and special atmosphere. Our older campers are reminded of their childhood and can enjoy the imaginative play of their younger selves. This also gives them the opportunity to be role models for our younger campers. With our guidance, they can develop empathy, patience, and leadership skills through activities like sports, hiking, and art. Younger campers benefit from watching the older campers and can learn how to navigate challenges, explore in different ways, or share their ideas. During “choice activities” campers group by their shared interests, rather than age. We also encourage making friends with age-mates, and this is made easier in a camp community atmosphere. At Camp Wildcraft, we have experienced the positive effects of having campers of different ages. Our older campers are able to enjoy childhood memories and our younger campers can learn from them. Through activities like sports, art, and hiking, our campers can develop leadership and social skills. We also encourage making friends with age-mates and support campers as they explore different ways of playing.
