night activities
Campfire
Relax, laugh, perform, and socialize by the fire light. Get acquainted with the three S's of Camp Allen campfires, songs, skits, and s'mores! Our staff will lead silly campfire songs, and each group of students will perform a short skit. We finish all campfires with marshmallow roasting and of course... S'MORES!
Night Hike
A sensory hike in the dark that provides students with the opportunity to safely explore and become comfortable with our woods at night. They may learn about nocturnal animal adaptations, participate in sensory games, or play owl calls.
Astronomy
Students sit under the Texas night sky and observe the stars above. Our presentation includes information about both the science of the stars and the stories from ancient Greek and Indigenous myth of the constellations observed. Students will use a telescope to observe the stars and planets visible in the sky.
Cities
This is a fun and exciting game played in an open field. Cities enables students to become comfortable with traveling without a flashlight in the dark, introduces nocturnal animal behavior, and teaches the necessities (aka "cities"!) of survival. This is a favorite of teachers, who play as the hunters in this adventurous and educational game.
