Ages 13-17: Wildways Leadership Camp
June 21-24, 2021
9am drop-off - 3pm pick-up
This new version of Wilderness Leadership Camp will allow campers to deepen their wilderness skills with more time in camp and less trail travel. This camp will still involve a challenging hike in to base camp, but once there, our focus will be on the details of setting up an efficient camp, more craft and skill learning, sourcing resources and foraging some of our food, and plenty of nature awareness activities. Campers will gain hands-on skill and craft experience, develop mindfulness in nature and gently push personal boundaries in a safe and supportive back-county setting. A detailed gear list is provided with registration confirmation. An additional female staff will be available to chaperone overnights. Prerequisite: Wilderness Adventure day camp or equivalent experience.
Fee: $355 (3 meals per day will be provided)
Limit: 10 youth
Registration deadline: June 4, 2021 Instructors: Nicholas WazeeGale and TBA. Nicholas is an enthusiastic naturalist, outdoorsman, and craftsperson. The natural world and its gifts have always held a central focus in his life, and he seeks to share this passion for the wilds through teaching outdoor skills like foraging, tracking, and observation; handcraft skills like carving and tanning; and selling handmade wares such as spoons, bowls, birch boxes and baskets. Initially certified in teaching wilderness skills through a year long wilderness lifeway course, he has been instructing courses at the Driftless Folk School, the KVR, and independently for over 15 years.
