Earth Path Summer Camps

This week is all about learning to see the forest through the eyes of a naturalist. Campers will tune into the rhythms and clues left by fur-bearing and feathered friends as they explore the land. We’ll play movement games inspired by mammals, practice bird language, and head out on quiet adventures to observe wildlife in action. Campers are encouraged to bring binoculars, field guides, and nature journals as we track, observe, and connect with the creatures that call the forest home.

This week is all about the gifts trees offer us—especially wood. Campers will dive into the world of traditional skills, learning how to safely use tools to carve, shape, and create. Activities may include carving spoons and bows, coal-burning wooden cups, and even learning to start fire using friction-based methods like rubbing sticks together. With guidance from skilled mentors, campers will build both their confidence and creativity as they explore the many ways wood connects us to the land and to ancient knowledge.

This week, campers become forest sleuths—donning their detective hats and setting out to solve a camp-wide mystery.

With a mix of storytelling, observation, and hands-on discovery, this modern-day whodunnit brings nature to life in exciting and unexpected ways.

This week invites campers to get up close and curious about the miniature marvels of the natural world. From frogs and salamanders to snails, insects, and invertebrates, we’ll explore the hidden lives of the forest’s smallest inhabitants. Activities may include catching frogs, creating snail farms, tracking salamanders, and investigating the fascinating world of bugs and beetles. With magnifying glasses in hand and eyes tuned to the tiny, campers will develop a new appreciation for the small but mighty beings all around us.

As they explore the woods through imaginative play and hands-on discovery, they’ll build confidence, creativity, and a sense of wonder. In the forest, imagination knows no limits—and magic is just around the next tree.

This week, campers will explore the magical and practical world of plants. They’ll be gently introduced to local medicinal and edible species through safe, guided activities like making healing salves, brewing teas, preparing wild-inspired recipes, and crafting with natural materials. From storytelling and plant lore to games that teach botanical knowledge, campers will deepen their appreciation for the resilience and beauty of the plant world. Highlights include a wild edible cook-off and plenty of creative, nature-based crafting.

This camp invites campers to dive into the elements of earth and water through messy, creative exploration. We’ll play with natural clay, search for fossils, and explore streams, rivers, and ponds in our rich, muddy forest. From shaping clay into wood-fired artifacts to splashing through waterways in search of hidden treasures, this week is all about discovery through hands-on play. Campers should come ready to get wet, get muddy, and head home with big smiles—and maybe a fossil or two!

Cost: $400

This week centers on the four essentials of survival: fire, food, shelter, and water. Campers will learn to meet their needs using materials found in the forest—building shelters, making fires, sourcing clean water, and identifying wild edibles. At the same time, they'll be drawn into an exciting storyline that hones their awareness and stealth. By tuning into the sights and sounds of the forest, campers will practice moving silently through the trees—staying hidden from the mysterious beings that roam the land. It’s a week of challenge, imagination, and resilience.
