Eleven trips, one swamp.

Every trip has its own story book, its own lesson and its own painted night sky. Kids pack, paddle, watch wildlife from a safe distance and make the calls a trip leader makes, always with a grown-up.

Real places

Old Canal, Cedar Hammock, Buzzards Roost, Billys Island, Big Water, Maul Hammock, Bluff Lake, Round Top, Floyds Island, Mixons Hammock and Chesser Island.

Swamp wildlife first

Cranes, wood storks, green tree frogs, barred owls, gopher tortoises and Wally. Kids learn to give wildlife room and leave the swamp as they found it.

Safety on every trip

Life jackets, launching early, campfires only where they are allowed and packing out every scrap, always practiced with a grown-up. See all eleven trips.

Pick the mode that fits your child.

A grown-up chooses the play mode. Each one teaches the same real-world outdoor skills with a different kind of challenge.

Ages 5 to 7

Sprout

Picture matching, sorting, short levels, unlimited hints and no stars shown.

Ages 8 to 9

Explorer

The same outdoor skills with more challenge, limited hints and stars to earn.

Ages 10 to 11

Ranger

Trip Leader play: plan a trip, pack to the red line, follow a compass route, respond to a surprise and review the choices.

Meet Tilla and Lance.

Tilla the otter and Lance the camper keep the adventure calm, practical and encouraging. Their kid-like character voices can guide every word on screen.

Plus the eight-camp Camp Trail

Lakeside Camp (packing and a safe campsite), Forest Camp (shelter and knots), the Fire Ring (campfire rules), Creek Camp (safe water), Clean Camp (leave no trace), Compass Rock (map and compass), Blackwater Swamp (wildlife and weather) and Night Lookout (stars and first aid). See the eight camps. Camp 1 is free, and one $5.99 purchase opens the rest of the camps and the three swamp entrances.

Made for grown-up guidance

Fire, stoves, boiling water, first aid and wildlife are learning topics to practice only with a grown-up.

Simple by design

No ads. No accounts. No tracking. The apps work offline, and their only network activity is Apple's or Google's purchase screen. The web version needs a connection, and a grown-up can unlock the full game there by card through Stripe.
