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!

We Are All Creative – Just for Kids! with Jen Myhre
Ages 9-12 years old

July 13-16, 2026 | Monday – Thursday | 1:00 – 4:00 pm
All art materials are provided.

No experience is necessary – just the student’s willingness to make art every day
Kids will learn and have fun exploring creative tools and techniques we can use at home with commonly found materials, with a lot of support and an embrace of experimentation and mistakes. We don’t need to want to be an artist to make things with our hands and have the joy of creativity in our daily lives. In this camp, we’ll learn how to make interesting textures through mark-making and repetition, how to make and use stencils, the basics of printmaking including making our own stamps and monoprints, and strategies for making collage. Throughout we’ll analyze and practice basic composition principles and develop our storytelling and meaning making skills. Each student will leave with a fun body of work.

Please bring a snack, and students should wear comfortable clothes that are okay to get dirty (or bring a smock/apron).

Sign up early as class is limited to 10 participants.

Tuition: $180.00 – ESA Eligible. All materials are included.

Join us for a lively discussion about The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo! The Alchemist, by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, is a famous allegorical novel about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who journeys from Spain to the Egyptian pyramids in search of treasure, discovering his "Personal Legend" and spiritual wisdom along the way. The story, originally published in Portuguese in 1988, uses the metaphor of alchemy to represent the spiritual journey of self-discovery, emphasizing themes like listening to your heart, reading omens, and following your dreams. The Senior Book Club meets every 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Joe C. Montoya Community and Senior Center from 2:00pm -3:00pm.
