Knife Camp -
2025 Day Program
For our young explorers we offer a one-week day camp running from 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. During the day we will play in the creek catching crayfish and building dams, ramble through the fields in search of berries, and engage in many woodland projects, games and adventures. We strive to kindle a sense of wonder and appreciation for the land and all its inhabitants, including one another.
Come for a week or more!
Ages 6-9 $300 per week.
Way of the Knife
July to July 2025 Day Program
We are adapting our overnight version of this camp to a day program again!
Craft your own knife to use at camp and bring home!! Work wood for a handle to fit your hand and form a sheath to carry it on your belt. Often these tools are taken for granted, but with a little skill and knowledge you will gain an appreciation for this ancient tool. Learn your knife’s many uses and capacities in and around base camp, and put these practices to use on a variety of carving projects. If time allows, we will also explore the creeks and forests around camp as well as cover a few other survival skills.
Ages: 9-14 Cost: $350, materials included
