In the captivating great state of New Hampshire, where the mountains are the color of a giant blueberry muffin, and the rivers sing like a school choir on a sugar rush, you'll find a special group of kids who love to hike. Oh, boy! They’re a rare breed of belly-laughing, tree-climbing, rock-hopping adventurers who are as tough as a grizzly bear's toenails. They wear boots that could crush a comet, and their backpacks, stuffed with sandwiches and dragonfruit, are always ready for a thrilling escapade. Let's not forget their funky guide, Sir Wogglesworth, a charming penguin with a top hat, who can't fly but surely knows how to climb. From the tips of his tuxedo-flapped wings to his shiny webbed feet, Sir Wogglesworth is all about fun. He tells the most knee-slapping, side-splitting jokes that keep the kids giggling all the way to the summit. "To the top!" Sir Wogglesworth would shout, leading the way with his polka-dotted walking stick. And off they would go, a whirlwind of laughter and energy, marching up granite peaks, past maple trees that seemed to touch the sky. In New Hampshire, these hiking prodigies and their hilariously dapper penguin guide, have turned the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other into an art. A hike with them isn't just a walk; it's a romp through the pages of a magical storybook, a voyage into a world where every stone might be a sleeping troll, every bird a messenger from a fairy queen, and every hike a new chapter in their endless adventure.

Our 250-acre forest and farm campus offers summer, winter, and family camps, Gap semester programs, and school programs.
