Meals are prepared by food industry professionals. We are fully state certified. Curriculum. Visit our Curriculum page for details. Accommodations. Campers have the option of sleeping in Sherwood Castle or in one of the Merry Folks’ Pavilions. Sherwood Castle is an indoor, climate controlled environment with bunk beds. A temporary wall separates the 4. All Dragons (age 7- 9) will be assigned to quarters in the Castle (with strict rules against fire breathing and anything more than an occasional moment of flatulence). The Merry Men’s Pavilion and Merry Women’s Pavilion are large, military- grade tents which stand over a raised wooden platform.
They are insulated and climate controlled. Our more adventurous campers will enjoy this option because, although it is a bit more luxurious than traditional camping, campers still get to be closer to nature and enjoy the night air and the sound of crickets and denizens of the forest. Campers choosing this accommodation option will usually have more personal space to spread out in than those sleeping in the Castle. The Pavilions are less populated and less noisy.
Accommodations options are first- come, first- served. Schedule. Overall. In 2. 01. 7 we will have 3 sessions of 6 nights each (drop off Sunday, pick up Saturday). If campers are attending multiple sessions consecutively, they can stay with us on that “bridge” Saturday night and enjoy extra- special activities at no extra charge!

Session III – Jul 2. Now, with some details…Sundays.
The week begins Sunday afternoon when campers are dropped off. Activities for the rest of the day are focused on site orientation, learning about the creatures of the forest, and everyone getting to know each other. Mondays through Fridays. Campers will wake and eat breakfast by 8: 0.
During their day they will attend 4- 5 classes, enjoy 3 healthy, delicious meals, several healthy snacks, have time to cool off in the pool, and have a nap or free game time if desired. There is a camp- wide post dinner activity – usually something theatrical or a large group game. Showers occur nightly after this activity, followed by storytime while campers are in their beds. Lights are out by 1. Fridays are all elective, so campers can revisit the classes they liked the most for additional instructionor try something new. Saturdays. Campers wake and eat breakfast by 9: 0. The entire camp proceeds to the theatre to watch the performances that campers have been working on in Theatre class, and then campers are dismissed.“Bridge Campers”From departure time Saturday until Sunday arrival time the next day, “Bridge campers” who are with us multiple weeks will get to have special instruction and enjoy some unstructured time, always under adult supervision of course, before the new week begins.

FAQs. When are payments due? Your $3. 00 deposit is due with the camper’s application, and the balance is due by May 3. Can I make partial payments? Yes. To do this you must pay by check and mail to our PO Box. The address is Sherwood Forest Summer Camp, PO Box 1. Houston TX 7. 72. Payments must still be completed by May 3.
Are there any scholarships? Not yet. But this is something we really want to do in the future.
Can I speak to my camper on the phone while they are at Camp? For the sake of preserving the illusion of our being in a medieval village to the maximum extent possible, our preference is to avoid phone communications from home except in the event of an emergency or extreme homesickness. Calls home can make mild cases of homesickness worse, and if dozens of campers are being pulled out of class each day to chat for “just one minute,” imagine how disruptive that would be! You can expect that should anything require your attention we will address it with you immediately. If you are worried and want to check how things are going with your camper, feel free to email or call our main number. We can check with your camper’s counselor to get a firsthand report of how they are doing. Can I email my camper while they are at camp?
Yes, but this is a one- way communication. Campers love hearing from family members. If you send an email to campermail@sherwoodforestsummercamp. Can my camper contact me while they are at camp?
