Description
Activities:
Campers learn wilderness skills, for example:
– identifying wild edible plants & cooking on fire (if no fire ban),
– ancestral crafting & arts (archery, baskets, clay, natural pigments etc),
– animal tracking & camouflage (recognizing animal calls, prints and learning to hide well).
Campers will also be immersed in community skills such as:
– gratitude & respect for all things,
– relational emotional regulation & teamwork,
– self compassion & inner peace,
– problem solving & conflict resolution.
Mindful awareness, music, and storytelling are woven into the day, together with farm visits, adventures, games, waterplay, and making space for authentic conversations and connection. Our excellent team role model positive courageous ways to be a woman and sister, belonging to ourselves, place and community.
