In most native cultures, there were those who sought game, plants, new trails and adventure outside of village life. These “scouts” moved silently, observed through tracking and stalking, were masters of camoflage and escape and evasion. Traps, snares, hunting tools and weapons were important to know and master. The arts of healing, cooking, and wild plants were also critical when scouts were far from village support. Woven throughout these abilities was a closeness to the earth and nature that forever changed the person living this way.

This camp expands our awareness beyond our usual ways of experiencing the world. This camp is a powerful and transformative experience, and some parts may be physically challenging at times.
