Session Details​

​

Wilderness Camp is a chance for campers to deepen their connection with the land at Ekone. 

 

Campers will spend their days and nights out on the land exploring, learning and playing, and finding all the best secret spots. We will have a base camp at the Ekone Bunkhouse, but will spend lots of nights camping on the land, and learning how to get ready for backcountry adventure. 

​

Activities will include learning about edible and medicinal plants, wilderness survival skills, tracking animals, sneaking and games in the woods, building shelters, hand crafts made from natural materials, hiking down to the Mermaid Pools to swim, trail maintenance and trail creation, tending to invasive species, learning about forestry and forest management, mapping and navigating, and most importantly building a sustainable connection to the Ekone land. Exact camp activities will depend on staff and camper interest at the beginning of the week!​
