THIS CAMP OUT IS FULL as of 6/1/10. If you are interested in signing up for the next overnight, please let us know!

Students will learn to meet our basic common human needs of shelter, water, fire, and food using only what nature provides.  More importantly, students will learn to meet these needs in a way that regenerates the resources rather than depletes them.  Students will do practical hands on projects, play games to practice awareness skills, and hear stories and experiences from Mark and the other instructors who have lived on the land using these very skills.    We’ll start our fire using a hand drill and cook our dinner over open coals.

Specifically for students age 7-14.
Saturday-Sunday, June 5, 2pm to June 6, 12 noon
O’neill Regional Park
Parents are welcome to come but not required.
Maximum 10 students with 3 instructors.

This campout will give participants practical skills for enjoying nature more fully. There will be a focus on finding water and making fire.
Families whose children have participated Native Skills Camp have requested an overnight continuation of these experiences. This campout will be like Native Skills Camp, but students can choose to sleep in the shelter they built, cook a real meal over a fire without using pots and pans, tell stories around the campfire, and experience waking up to the greeting of bird calls.

Parents will drop off/pick up at Oneill Park.
Price $135 per student, which will include dinner, campsite, and all instruction.
Maximum 10 students with 3 instructors.
