Coordinated by Programs Support Officer, Nika Linseman, and instructed by undergraduate counsellors Marcus MacRobbie and Rhapsody Forgues, both aspiring educators, the camp offered a dynamic blend of physical and human geography, geomatics, and environmental studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the week, campers engaged in eco-art projects, orienteering challenges, digital mapping with Google Earth, weather experiments, and a biodiversity hike through the Arboretum and Fletcher Wildlife Garden. Activities were designed to be hands-on and inclusive, with strong support for campers with learning differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The camp reached full capacity within 30 minutes of registration opening, with a waitlist of 90. Due to high demand and positive feedback, the program will expand to two weeks next August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1050\" data-id=\"32415\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/dges-camp2-1-1024x1050.jpg\" alt=\"ecoart\n\" class=\"wp-image-32415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/dges-camp2-1-1024x1050.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/dges-camp2-1-512x525.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/dges-camp2-1-320x328.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/dges-camp2-1-768x787.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/dges-camp2-1-1498x1536.jpg 1498w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/dges-camp2-1-1998x2048.jpg 1998w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1252\" data-id=\"32414\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/DGES-camp-3-1024x1252.jpg\" alt=\"ecoart\n\" class=\"wp-image-32414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/DGES-camp-3-1024x1252.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/DGES-camp-3-512x626.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/DGES-camp-3-320x391.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/DGES-camp-3-768x939.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/DGES-camp-3-1257x1536.jpg 1257w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/DGES-camp-3-1676x2048.jpg 1676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1370\" data-id=\"32416\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-1024x1370.jpg\" alt=\"ecoart\n\" class=\"wp-image-32416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-1024x1370.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-512x685.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-320x428.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-768x1027.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-1148x1536.jpg 1148w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-1531x2048.jpg 1531w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/geography\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2025\/08\/Dges-camp-scaled.jpg 1914w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This August was the first year of the Ravens Geography &amp; Sports Summer Camp where we welcomed 50 enthusiastic campers, split into morning and afternoon groups, with activities alternating between geography-focused sessions and athletics.
