Enrollment for Summer Camps and the
2026-2027 School Year is Now Open
Bushcraft Camp 2026 - Nature's First Aid
For ages 6-13
(going into 1st-8th grade)
Bushcraft camp is all about hands-on experiences using traditional skills to live without modern help. Campers will step into the world of bushcraft while discovering the incredible ways plants support our lives in the wild. Campers will learn to see the forest as a living toolkit—nature’s medicine cabinet, grocery store, and craft shop. As we explore the woods, we’ll identify helpful plants, learn about Nature’s First Aid, discover edible wild foods, and gather natural materials for crafting and building.
Throughout the week, we’ll practice essential outdoor survival skills including shelter-building, fire-building, water filtration, compass navigation, and cooking wild edibles over the fire. Campers will also craft with plant materials—making simple tools, cordage, and nature-based creations while learning how plants have traditionally been used for healing, nourishment, and everyday living. Campers will work the whole week on creating take-home first aid kits made from wild plants at camp.
Join us for a week of adventure as we discover how the plants around us can provide food, medicine, and materials for living well in the wild.
