Hike Overview

Ages 9-13: Come learn the skills of our ancestors! The arts of fire-building, shelter-making, and food gathering are becoming lost in the hustle and bustle of modern life. Our educators will teach your campers the unique wildcrafting skills that are crucial to life in the outdoors. We might even learn to bake a healthy dessert over the open fire! Please let us know as soon as possible if your child has any special requirements (dietary, medical, physical, etc.) so we may meet their needs. You may send snacks with your child, but all food must be stored in special bins in the Mess Hall to avoid any curious critters visiting our bunkhouses.

What to Bring

We spend as much time as possible outside in the sun, rain, snow, wind, and mud, and there are a few important gear items you are going to need. Labeling your belongings with your name is a fantastic way to make sure they all make it home with you. We do not have the ability to do laundry at our facility, so please pack accordingly.
