Earth Scouts Summer Camp @ Fairhaven Park
Tickets
Jun 26 @ 9:00 am
Earth Scouts Summer Camp @ Fairhaven Park | Bellingham | Washington | United States

At our Earth Scouts camps, 6-12 year old students will learn to live in harmony with nature as they play sensory awareness games, follow the trails of wild creatures through the forest, forage for wild food and medicine, practice earth-based skills, hear stories, sing songs and have some good ole muddy wild adventures in the woods! Our students always go home more connected and truly alive!

This camp will focus on basic survival principles and skills.

Along the way we will practice:
* Safe fire-making and tending
* Primitive shelter techniques and construction
* Animal tracking
* Identifying and harvesting wild edible and medicinal plants
* Knife/handsaw skills and safety
* Primitive toolmaking such as cordage and projectiles
* Aidless navigation
* Primitive trapping/hunting techniques (we will not be hunting on this programs).
* Learning through games and missions
* Working together with peers in a positive way
* Keeping a positive attitude!

All of our programs feature:
* A 1:6 staff-student ratio
* Staff trained as Coyote Mentors at the Wilderness Awareness School with 20 years combined experience mentoring children in nature
* Caring mentors who hold strong boundaries and foster a culture of respect (for ourselves, others, and nature!)
* First Aid and CPR certified Staff

Earth Scouts Camps run from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm and are open to children ages 6-12.

If your child is younger and not ready for the long day, check out our Wild Wanderer Camps for 4-6 year olds!
