Village Camp is a community camp
in which children of different ages
come together to learn to live in harmony with each other and nature.
Children participate with the staff in a daily routine of country living
chores such as animal and garden care, food preparation and campfire
cooking. During the week children engage in a variety of outdoor crafts
and skills which are taught in a way that promotes unity and respect.
Some of these activities may include fire building, bowl-burning,
weaving, cordage and braiding with natural fibers, work with leather and
rawhide, beadwork, etc.
During each session of Village Camp “Community Projects” are offered, in
which everybody works together to create and complete a project which
will enhance the community. Past projects have included, constructing
an Iroquois Long House and Designing and Building an Outdoor
Amphitheater and a Grass Thatched Hut, and constructing and weaving with
the 3 Bear Loom.

At
Village Camp parents and family members of campers are welcome to visit

young children visiting the camp at all times. On Thursday evenings, we
have a family celebration night and dinner. Campers and their

Village Camp has provided unique and rewarding
experiences of a lifetime for many children. We hope your children and
your family can join us this summer.
