VILLAGE CAMP  (Ages 6-14)

August 18th – August 22nd

Cost $265 includes snacks, meals and Thursday evening campout

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, meal 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 firebuilding, 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 us and join in whenever they can.  Parents are required to supervise young children visiting the camp at all times.  On Thursday evenings, we have a family celebration night and dinner.  Campers and their families are invited to camp out.   

In addition to these activities, our August sessions of Village Camp includes the Reading “Big Buddy Project” where older campers and younger campers are matched as they participate in a variety of literacy activities including writing, reading and telling stories written by the children and staff.  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.  Transportation and T-shirts are available at an additional cost.  Enrollment is limited.
