Sherwood Forest programs are anchored in a 28-day residential camp experience and supported by year-round engagement, which helps to ensure our campers return to year after year. During the summer, kids choose from a range of traditional camp experiences like swimming, backpacking, and canoeing, as well as academic enrichment programs like Creative & Performing Arts, Library and Reading, and STEM exploration activities to help reduce summer learning loss. Using research-based methods and the unique opportunities offered by nature, Sherwood Forest helps kids from low-income families build a foundation needed to break the cycle multi-generational poverty. Our programs are strategically designed to build the soft skills, academic ability, personal traits, and life strategies enabling them to overcome obstacles and grow into resilient, successful adults.
At Sherwood Forest, we envision a community where all youth discover and achieve their fullest potential. To achieve this, we provide dynamic programs and immersive outdoor experiences that inspire and empower youth from under-resourced communities to discover their resilience, prepare for their future, and embrace their civic responsibility.
