At Feather, Fur, and Fin camp (age 5-8), we help instill a deep connection and love of nature by getting the kids down in the mud to scoop up crayfish, gently handle frogs, and ease over logs to find salamanders. Sandy river banks will help us track possums, and the soft soil of the forest will show us where the deer have been. Animal forms like “deer ears” and “fox walking” will help your child embody their forest friends, giving them the skills needed to spot creatures that they may never have seen before. Children will also get the opportunity to play animal based games to learn more about why wild animals do what they do!
Stealth Tracker camp (age 9-14): Building on skills practiced in our Feather, Fur, and Fin camp, older campers can learn how to move sneakily in the woods, use natural materials for camouflage, observe and understand the signs that creatures leave, and then integrate all of those skills in immersive games. We might use natural pigments and mud to make camouflage paint, learn to construct hidden shelters, and follow tracks to learn from how animals interact with their environment.
Camp Intentions:
– Practice body control and patience
– Learn about and embody our animal neighbors
– Develop perception and observation skills
– Experiment with seeing from different perspectives
This is a medium focus, medium energy camp week and is best suited for campers who want to explore the Animal kingdom in our local ecosystem, and experience what it’s like to be a wild creature.
