Overnight Camps

The Teen Immersive Wilderness Program is a transformative outdoor experience designed to reconnect young participants with nature, instill essential survival skills, and promote personal growth. In an age dominated by digital tools, this program recognizes the importance of forging a strong connection with the natural world for the holistic development of young adults. The unit expands on ancestral skills learned through other A.K. programs and will help prepare young adults to navigate the modern world with a sense of community engagement.

The program spans three weeks, each focusing on a specific theme: "Hearth," "Self-Sufficiency," and "Navigation." While best experienced as a unit, it is not required for participation. Through a series of hands-on activities, participants engage in a variety of immersive experiences that range from basic survival skills to advanced outdoor techniques.

The Earth Skills Overnight Camp provides a unique opportunity for campers to delve deeper into the ancient arts and trades. Our program builds on the foundational knowledge gained from the Ways of the Woods Camp, encouraging participants to test their newfound abilities in more complex scenarios. They'll engage in the creation of Primitive Pottery, utilizing the intricate art of shaping and molding clay. Leather Making will introduce them to the process of transforming raw hide into durable material. Stone Tool Technology will take them back in time, teaching them how to craft tools from natural resources.

Campers will also learn Open Fire Cooking, a fundamental skill of our ancestors. They will discover the art of Foraging, finding and safely preparing wild foods. Basket Making and Wood Working will allow them to create functional and beautiful items from natural materials. These are just a few of the numerous activities that await our campers, promising a rich, educational, and memorable experience.

The best thing about our overnight camps, each year they are different, so feel free to come back for a new adventure each year!
