Our naturalist mentors use the physical element of water to guide the design of Water Strider camps. These camps include awareness games, wilderness skills, nature craft, hiking, storytelling, and more. Mentors personalize the experiences based on the interests of a particular group and follow the easy flow of a summer day, beginning with gratitude and ending with stories of our time on the land. Water Strider camps take place at a rotation of watery locations (imagine: seasides, rivers, bays, creeks, estuaries). Each week brings a different rotation of locations to explore, so feel free to join in more than one of these adventures!
