Cottonwood Camps: Ages 6 to 12 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day
This week lies at the heart and soul of Flying Deer. It is an exciting day camp for children who love to spend time outdoors with friends, learning about the forest and all its valuable teachings: mysterious animal tracks, delicious edible plants, curious insects, shelter, primitive fire-making, and other wilderness skills, not to mention fun songs, games, and stories! We begin and end our day all together with morning and afternoon circles in the Flying Deer tipi, and adventuring throughout the day in clans. Please note that the age range for Cottonwood IV is 6-8.
