The best way to beat the heat is in THE CREEK! Creek time is a fan favorite at Schoolhouse. We splash, look for animals, get "mud tattoos," skip rocks, and so much more 😋 🐢 🦞

Ever wondered what a counselors-only game of six feathers looks like? Please enjoy these great moments captured during staff training of some of our counselors playing a Schoolhouse classic!

There’s a lot of things we take seriously at Schoolhouse. But taking ourselves seriously? Not so much 😅 We can’t wait to play all our favorite games with campers this summer! 🏃🏽‍♀️🫶🏼

Last night we kicked off summer staff training with our welcome dinner at our Loblolly site!

We left with bellies full of pizza, new friends, inspiration for an impactful summer, and a charge from our CEO to show up as ourselves this summer. We are the best counselors/friends/mentors when we show up not trying to be someone else, but being the very best version of ourselves.

We hire the best of the best and are so excited for a great week of training that will launch a great summer of camp 💚

A moment of gratitude from our staff 💌

Today our year round staff met in the “Big Woods” at West Point on the Eno. We sat in a circle on the forest floor and were reminded that tens of thousands of campers and staff have sat in a circle in the exact same spot since 1989 at Schoolhouse of Wonder.

We shared memories, gratitude for one another, and took time to appreciate the piece of land that we started our program on 37 years ago.

At Schoolhouse of Wonder, we believe in honoring those who came before us, taking care of those around us, and passing the torch well to those who come after us. If you’ve spent anytime in the woods with us, you know the indescribable magic that happens here. We started at West Point on the Eno 37 years ago and will be running 8 locations this summer - because Schoolhouse is Schoolhouse no matter where you go.

We are so eager to welcome returning and new staff as we kick off training weekend and are so excited to welcome returning and new campers in just a few short weeks.

We are so grateful for this Schoolhouse community that continues to deepen and grow. 💚

See you in the woods!
- The Schoolhouse Team
