WOODSMOKE is a true camping adventure! Young people learn a variety of outdoor skills, learn about the surrounding environment, live and work in a community, and develop spiritually.
WOODSMOKE hosts 4 age groups each week: 5th-6th grade, 7th-8th grade, 9th -10th grade, and 11th-12th grade with a maximum of 10 campers per group. Two experienced counselors supervise each group. Camp staff includes a registered nurse, program director, lifeguard, food-service and project management staff, and site manager.
Where else can you commune with nature, eat homemade ice cream, and have the time of your life? You will have a blast working with your fellow campers on various service projects. You will leave with a good feeling of having done something special for someone else! After all, vegging out all summer long at home turns your brain into mush. Soooooo, take a week (or two) off from hanging out and build something that will be around for years to come!
Come to Woodsmoke 2010!!!

Woodsmoke Activities include:
* Swimming in beautiful spring-fed Hathaway Pond
* Boating, canoeing and learning about pond creatures
* Nature walks and conservation activities that benefit local wildlife populations
* Service projects such as restoring centuries-old settler ruins and designing new trails and learning how to get involved in service projects outside of camp
* Arts and crafts, including creating educational puzzles and games for kids in Bolivia
WOODSMOKE’s rustic, peaceful setting, removed from the distractions of everyday modern life, provides an excellent opportunity for young people to develop their own sense of spirituality. We discuss and consider different spiritual beliefs. Campers are encouraged to grow spiritually. They learn to live and work together in a community, as well as the value of service and outreach through the completion of service projects that help make Kingswood a better place. Each project teaches a variety of skills such as project design, research, and carpentry.
"Come and have a great time with us this summer—meet new and old friends, gain skills, and enjoy the outdoors! We’ll see you there!"
