Our mentors will lead this small group of ladies through a week of skills circles, team building activities, and an exploration of finding their strength and peace in nature. On day 1, girls will get to know one another and the land through team-building games. They'll also plan what activities and projects they'll practice this week, with choices including basket circles, navigation challenges, plant medicine making, felting, tracking adventures, weaving, edible plant explorations, hikes, team building days and more. Objectives for this week are empowering one another to express ourselves freely, learning our team's strengths and supporting one another, and finding comfort in connection to the land and building skills that help us relate to nature.

Nighthawk will provide all materials needed for daily activities! What makes Nighthawk Camps unique? Education. Small groups. Ancestral technologies... We are a small organization who places the utmost importance on an educational experience through hands-on experience, play, and exploration. If students are keen on learning skills and are passionate about learning more about their natural surroundings, this is the camp for them! Our camps will consist of only one or two small trail groups per week. We believe small groups provide for an enhanced sense of awareness and community and allows us to better tailor camps to the needs and interests of the students and their families. 10 max per camp. 5:1 Student:Teacher ratio. We are passionate about teaching and learning the ancestral technologies to which we all owe our humanness.
