Pocono Pathfinders (morning adventure)
This summer the Pocono Pathfinders are in search of a home for Tiki. This woodland elf sees how Friend Squirrel can climb and build a leafy nest in a tree, while Friend Chipmunk burrows cozy tunnels under the ground. Friend Fish makes pebbly nests in its watery world, while Friend Robin builds sturdy nests of mud and grass to raise her young. Nearby, Friend Butterfly flutters from a homespun sleeping bag attached to a leaf. What kind of home is the right kind for Tiki?

Each day, the Pathfinders explore new worlds and learn about how different creatures are adapted to different kinds of homes. For their kind assistance in finding Tiki a home, each Pocono Pathfinder receives an official Certificate of Appreciation.

Dino Daze! (afternoon adventure)
Some were the biggest animals to ever walk the earth. Many sported large horns, spikes, and body armor. But some were small, and some resembled birds more than reptiles. Some even boasted two brains! But not all the bizarre and fantastic creatures of the Jurassic period were dinosaurs. The allosaurus, apatosaurus, trachodon, were all "terrible lizards." But the pterandon, plesiosaurus, and dimetron were not. What's the difference? Explore the mystery of prehistory as we conduct our own archaeological dig and descendants who still populate the earth.

Ages 6-9
America's Great Outdoors Club (morning adventure)
At the Great Outdoors Clubhouse in Brodhead Woods, an urgent message has been received. There have been reported sightings of birds walking down trees headfirst and creatures swimming backwards. Another report tell of flying frogs, birds swimming underwater, and insects leaping over 20 times their own body length! What is happening? The budding naturalists must stalk, trail, observe, and capture specimens from the Special Order of the Locomotion of Animalia (those critters who soar, fly, glide, hop, ooze, slide, walk, and otherwise get around).

Club member learn how to make and use the tools of the trade used by professional naturalists. They make dragonfly wings to learn about flights, build a terrarium to learn about creatures of the soil, and learn how to safely and gently trap and release animals. All receive a Great Outdoors Clubhouse Certificate of Outdoor Investigations.

Prehistoric Digs! (afternoon adventure)
The adventures of our young paleontologists begin with the discovery of mystery fossils in the Tooth, Claw, and Bone Mystery Hunt. We learn how to interpret past events by examining the rocks, minerals, and soils of today, and identify and classify real fossils. This is a week of hands-on science, in which we hunt for ecofacts of plant and animal remains, artifacts made by humans, and features in the landscape that reveal ancient activities. We'll conduct our own paleontological dig, and learn how to record, preserve, and interpret the evidence we find.
