Roots School Summer Camp!
July 17-21
Summer Camp done Roots style. Wilderness Survival skills, tracking and nature
study, games and exploration, and more await students at this week long day
camp. Join us for an adventure into the wilds of Vermont, with Roots Summer
camps. Ages 6-13.
This is a week in which we focus on ancient survival skills, nature
awareness, and tracking. Campers will find their days full of exploring the
natural world as we move through the Vermont woods, wetlands, and fields
studying the plants, trees, birds, mammals, insects, and amphibians. We
will work on survival skills such as emergency shelters, primitive
fire-making, finding and purifying wild water, and learning poisonous,
edible, medicinal, and fiber-producing plants.
Campers will make a number of hand-made projects, maybe atl-atls, pine bark
water kettles, naturalist sketchbooks and journals, spears, bow drill kits,
survival sticks, bolas, throwing sticks, cordage, and much more.
In addition to learning new skills, campers enjoy the open air and each
other through games, expeditions and challenges.
The Roots Summer Camp is not an average day camp. Students will be
encouraged to push their own edges as they learn to use tools, be
responsible with fire, learn to communicate in order to accomplish hard
tasks they could not have done alone, and in general learn about the
natural world and the skills to survive there.
All groups will work with experienced instructors with a passion for the
skills and the ability to provide powerful growing opportunities for
students. This is a packed week, full of excitement and new experiences.
