Grades 6-8 Spring Break Camp
Our camp offers everything you could imagine for the outdoor-loving, adventure-seeking middle schooler!
This Spring Break, learn all types of outdoor, farm, and nature based skills and crafts. From spear making and metal work, forest tracking, trail blazing, lei making and lauhala weaving to structure building, husbandry and farm practices, each day is packed full of new activities.
This program encourages pre-teens and early teens to find their strength, reconnect with nature, and build a strong bond with their peers. Students will come home with multiple handmade keepsakes that they can use for future outdoor expeditions.
