One and two week overnight camps providing a true wilderness adventure! Weeks are jam packed with exploration, fun, awareness games, survival skills, and a depth of understanding of the natural world. Campers build competence and confidence through an amazing week learning and living the ways of the wild! No rush, no schedule, all fun and adventure! Program Description: (Formerly known as our Home School Programs) The P.I.N.E. Project offers nature based programs that provide long-term mentoring experiences for children and youth in their home environment. These programs are almost entirely spent outside, only using indoor space for the most inclement weather, or for specific projects. There’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! A growing body of research is emphatically stating that children are happier, healthier, and developmentally superior (they learn better, quicker, retain more, and are more relaxed) when they spend consistent time in nature. And everyone knows the the most formative years are the first ones. We’ve seen the strongest, most resilient children develop when consistently exposed to nature and strong mentoring from a young age. We integrate parents and siblings into the experience, with opening and closing circles, storytelling, and celebrations at important times of the year for our participants.
