Our Teen Apprenticeship is a space that allows teens to grow their leadership skills through outdoor adventures, land stewardship, and community.

Outdoor Adventures 

Grow your naturalist knowledge and build upon your wilderness skills through new adventures every session. Teens will not only learn new skills, but will then learn how to effectively teach those skills to others. 

Land Stewardship

It is not enough to love the land, for we must also become its stewards! Teens will learn the importance of caring for the land we play on through conservation projects throughout the year. As we use the forest for our adventures each season, we will discuss land ethics and why they are a crucial part of outdoor education.

Community

We will be laughing, playing, cooking, wandering, and working together as a unit throughout the year. Each session we will be bonding with each other as we share meals around a campfire and participate in team building challenges.

Make Lime Hollow your own with guidance of our skilled educators.

Two Great Tracks in the Summer

We have revamped our Mentors-in-Training (MIT) program to include both a traditional camper experience and begin to integrate them into leadership and mentorship roles with younger campers.

MITs are campers who demonstrate leadership and responsibility. They are leaders and serve as a support network for our mentors and younger campers. They are assigned to small groups of Kneehigh Naturalist or Junior Naturalist campers each week with a mentor to help guide them. ‍

This hands-on experience will provide you with valuable insights into the responsibilities and rewards of the role, giving you a head start on your journey to becoming a fully-fledged Mentor. By immersing yourself in the camp environment and learning from those who have been in your shoes, you will gain the skills and confidence needed to make a positive impact on campers and the Lime Hollow community. Join us for a day of learning, growth, and fun as you experience what it is like to be a Mentor In Training! REGISTRATION ON FEBRUARY 1st. We will send you a coupon code to register $50 OFF.
