The Experience
Coyote Kids Camp at Bishop’s Lodge offers an array of activities during the summer months to keep your young adventurers curious, engaged, and enchanted. Each week, Thursday-Sunday, we offer age-appropriate skill building activities that explore our natural surroundings, history, and culture of Santa Fe and this land. Our days follow a flow learning model, beginning with a game to awaken children’s enthusiasm, followed by skill-building activities to teach wilderness know-how and engage children more deeply in nature. Each day’s themes are complemented through story, nature journaling and an art project to tap into your child’s imagination and creativity. Lunch may be beside a river or under the shade of trees. Coyote Camp commences on June 1 and runs till September 1.
