The journey itself feels like a rite of passage, as mist and early darkness turn the landscape into a mysterious backdrop for his eager anticipation. Upon arrival, he discovers Woodcraft Camp, a place where the clang of campfires and the rustle of pine trees become the classroom for learning the secrets of the forest.
