Who We Are

At FSCMC, we’re a team of dreamers, explorers, and storytellers passionate about bringing families closer through the magic of nature and history. Our name—Forests, Shores, Castles & Magical Camps—says it all. We create unforgettable 3-5 day adventures that take you to wild forests, shimmering shores, ancient castles, and cozy campsites, where every moment feels like a page from a storybook. Founded by a group of parents, educators, and outdoor enthusiasts, FSCMC is built on the belief that the best family memories are made when you’re laughing, learning, and exploring together.

Our Mission

We’re here to spark wonder and connection for families of all kinds. Our tours blend adventure, education, and imagination, turning vacations into journeys that stick with you. Whether it’s a kid spotting their first constellation or a parent rediscovering the thrill of a campfire tale, we craft experiences that light up hearts and minds. We’re not just about seeing new places—we’re about feeling the magic of the world, from the rustle of leaves to the echo of a castle hall.

What Sets Us Apart

Family-Focused Fun: Our tours are designed for kids aged 4-14 and parents who love adventure. Activities like scavenger hunts, knight training, or flower-pressing are tailored to keep everyone engaged, with age-appropriate twists and plenty of downtime.

Expert Guides: Our guides are more than leaders—they’re naturalists, historians, and storytellers who know how to make a cave tour or a canoe trip unforgettable. They’re trained in safety, sustainability, and making kids giggle.

Eco-Conscious Adventures: We love the planet as much as you do. Our tours use eco-friendly materials, teach respect for nature, and support local conservation efforts to keep our destinations pristine.

Hassle-Free Planning: We handle everything—meals, gear, transport—so you can focus on the fun. From pre-set tents to kid-friendly menus, we’ve got the details covered.

Our Story

FSCMC started around a campfire, when our founders—parents frustrated by cookie-cutter vacations—dreamed up trips that would thrill kids and grown-ups alike. They wanted destinations that felt alive, activities that sparked curiosity, and moments that families could share forever. From that spark grew our 10 unique tours, each one a love letter to the wild and storied places we cherish. Today, we’re a small but mighty team, working with local communities and experts to craft adventures that feel personal, meaningful, and just plain fun.

Why We Do It

We know how precious family time is, and we’re here to make it count. Our tours aren’t just trips—they’re chances to unplug, laugh, and discover something new together. We’ve seen kids light up as they find a fossil, parents beam during a starry night, and families leave with stories they’ll retell for years. That’s what drives us: creating memories that bind you closer, long after the campfire’s gone out.

Meet Our Tours

From the Enchanted Forest Quest’s treasure hunts to the Knights and Dragons Fantasy Tour’s epic role-play, our 10 adventures offer something for every family. Explore ancient ruins, paddle misty lakes, or stargaze in remote meadows—all for $1,000-$1,600 per family of four, with everything included. Each tour is a 2-5 day escape, just a short drive from major cities, making it easy to dive into the magic.

Our Promise

When you choose FSCMC, you’re choosing a team that cares. We promise safe, inclusive, and joy-filled experiences, with guides who feel like family and destinations that feel like home. If a kid needs a break or the weather turns, we adapt. If you’re new to camping or nervous about history tours, we make it welcoming. Every step of the way, we’re here to ensure your adventure is as epic as the stories we tell.
