Description

Calling all makers, crafters and nature lovers! Our Wildcrafters camp will focus on the plants and trees growing around us. We will learn how to use these incredible resources as inspiration for crafts, builds and more.

We will:

  • Connect with and learn from the teachings of plants and trees.
  • Practice nature journaling to inspire our craft and build our relationship to plants.
  • Use plant fibers and technology to weave and craft functional pieces to take home.
  • Honorably forage and harvest wild plants for healing salves, delicious teas and natural color/dyes.
  • Learn to work with wood for beading, sculpting and building.
  • Build forts and fairy homes using natural building supplies and innovative engineering.
  • Work with natural materials to make paper, create nature garlands and more!

Campers will take home their nature inspired crafts, art and builds for families to enjoy.
