Camp Updates for 2010 |
 Mountain
Biking - This summer we are
offering programs for campers of all
ages and levels. An
introductory overnight weekend
program is available for campers who
are at least 8 years old. In
addition, we offer our "basic"
week-long program and a weekend
program for teenagers who are
experienced Mountain Bikers. All
registrants must have their
own Mountain Bike and safety
equipment. Snacks are
provided. These programs are limited
to 10 registrants per session. To
learn more about our
Mountain Biking Program,
visit our website.
Adoption Connection Programs
- We are excited to once again offer
an opportunity for children who have
been adopted to come together for a
weekend of fun and a chance to make
new friends. Earth Connection has
offered this program in the past,
and children who have participated
have enjoyed both the opportunity to
meet and get to know other adopted
children and adults. Also, after
many discussions and requests by
parents we have put together a
couple of workshops that address
special concerns when parenting
adopted children. To learn more
about these programs visit our
Adoption Connection page on our
website.
Bus Transportation
from Ithaca is now included with all
week-long camp registrations. This
means your child is guaranteed a
space on our bus once they are
registered for camp. There is no
additional fee. Campers do not have
to ride the bus, or can choose to
ride it on certain days, and must
just make sure to sign up for those
days, so they can be accounted for.
Snacks, Lunch and Meals
(for overnight programs):
All campers will receive two healthy
snacks every day. Campers must
bring their own lunch. The camp
does not provide lunches - with the
exception of programs with
"overnights." These programs will
clearly state what meals are
provided with the program. It is
important that campers bring lunches
with non-perishable items (not
needing refrigeration) as we do not
have the ability to refrigerate
lunches. We also strongly urge
families to consider the packaging
of lunches to reduce litter and
waste. Remember the 3 R's: Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle.
Family Camping Weekend:
We have designated a
weekend this summer for camp
families who would like to take
advantage of our beautiful location
in the Hammond Hill State Forest.
Spend the weekend in a cabin or
campsite and enjoy hiking, biking,
fishing or just hanging out at Camp
Earth Connections. There will be a
staff person on duty during the
entire weekend, but children are
soley the responsibility of their
parents and must be supervised at
all times. Enjoy the camp
open-house on Saturday, and there
will be a campfire program Saturday
evening for all those who want ot
join in. For more information check
out family
camping weekend on our website.
|
|
Camp Earth Connection's Open House |
|
Camp Earth Connection will have an
"Open House" on Saturday, July 10th
from Noon - 4pm. Come check out the
camp if you have not visited us
before and if you have, come visit
us and enjoy some food, music and
activities. This is also "Family
Camp Weekend," so consider renting a
cabin or campsite for the weekend.
Mark this date in your calendar, and
check out our Spring newsletter for
updates on the day's events.

Healing Heart Women's Weekend or Day
Retreat |
"Healing Heart" Womyn's Weekend is
being planned for the Fall of 2010.
The weekend will be designed to give
women a chance to gather
together for a "retreat" in the
woods at Camp Earth Connection.
They will have the opportunity
to participate in workshops such
as music, art, writing, primitive
survival skills, meditation, healing
techniques, and wild edible &
medicinal plants. We are living in
a time where many people are so
busy, and worried, that they have
forgotten how to live in the moment,
and enjoy the journey we are all
on. We may not realize that
everything we need to acheive
serenity in our lives is
available at every moment of our
lives. The Earth provides us with
our basic physical needs - and all
the other things that we think we
want or need, often will not bring
us lasting joy or contentment, but
usually just leads us to the next
thing that we think we want or need,
perpetuating the unfilliing and
never-ending cycle of "more."
During this weekend, we will
practice living in the moment and
take the time to slow down and
re-visit our home, the Earth and
what it offers, and our purpose, and
what each of us has to offer on this
journey of life.
