Forest Builders

March 18 - 22

Comfort and community can be built anywhere! In this camp, we will learn about shelters, fires, and primitive structures of all kinds. Learn what makes good mud, where to find the best rocks, and how to make a roof waterproof! Join us as we explore the forests and streams while responsibly using the resources the land has given us!

Web of life

March 25 - 29

Everything in nature is connected. From mushrooms to coyotes, join us to explore what makes up an ecosystem! We will get our hands dirty learning about soils and our feet wet learning about water. We will investigate trees from their roots to their leaves and track animals by their scat. Discover what makes a plant grow, what makes water flow, and how all things, living and nonliving, are woven into the web of life.

Way of the cougar

April 1 - 5

The cougar is a master of the arts of invisibility and camouflage. Moving silently through the shadows like a ghost in the forest, it blends into its surroundings perfectly. In this camp, following in the footsteps of the animals, we will learn how to blend and flow with the landscape so that we can move silently in the forest. We will immerse ourselves in the joy of secret missions in the forest, cultivate the graciousness that comes from taking good care of our community, and experience the nobility of the animals that walk quietly among us.
