What is Free-Range Friday?

Unstructured, uncrowded, and unbelievably beautiful adventure awaits! Kids need time to roam, explore, imagine, and enjoy time in nature. Unstructured time in nature with mud and dust and sky ignites the body, mind and spirit of kids (and their grown ups.) Free-Range Friday is your invitation to let your kids run and hike and adventure at their own pace and within your own comfort-level in a wide-open place. 

Each Free-Range Friday will include one activity presented by Wildwood staff and open access to adventure around Wildwood. Wander the trails; catch a fish; observe local wildlife; and make lasting memories! 

Wildwood feels like a place far away, but really, we’re only 37 minutes south of I-435.

Camp Wildwood–A Ten Year Program

Camp Wildwood–A Ten Year Program

A camp session at Wildwood lasts just 5 days, but we often talk about Camp Wildwood being a 10-year program.

Why? We focus on having campers come back each year because the research shows increased benefits for campers each year they return, culminating in long-term benefits that will impact campers into adulthood.

What are these benefits? We’re glad you asked!

Outdoor Mindfulness Activities

mindfulness activity: nature art

I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been feeling overwhelmed just existing in the world. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it’s critical that we take care of both our mental and physical wellbeing. Keeping mentally healthy during this time is particularly important for kids, whose brains are still growing and developing.

At Wildwood, one of our favorite strategies to keep kids’ (and adults’) minds healthy is by engaging in mindfulness. Not only are mindfulness practices usually quick and simple, but they can have an impressive positive effect on mood.
