We ride bareback and western. When not with the horses, campers are engaged in a variety of art projects, nature explorations, swimming, ranch activities and chores. Our garden-fresh, from-scratch food is a highlight of the camp experience (many a camper has learned to love their vegetables in the Yummy Tummy Cafe). Campers sleep in our A-frame longhouse, in tipis, under the stars, or in the hay barn where we listen to the horses breathe all night long. Due to our small session size, we are happy to accommodate some children with special needs or dietary considerations--please contact us for more information.

Whether your child is attending overnight camp for the first time, or has been to our overnight camps multiple times, the Naturalist Overnight is intended to be an opportunity for your child to learn more of the foundational skills of ecology and natural history! While exploring the forest around Linne Doran (Pond of the Otter) -- our school campus near Duvall -- students and staff at this camp will have opportunities to track the local wildlife, perhaps making plaster casts of their tracks, and to use both field guides and common sense to identify the tracks and sign that wildlife leave behind. Campers will have the opportunity to rise early, sitting with the birds during the dawn chorus and then creating observation-based maps which will begin to reveal what’s going on in “the neighborhood” of the forest. Sustainable harvesting techniques will be taught, and wild plants will be harvested for food and medicine. Campers will have the opportunity to create and begin to use their very own nature journals which can become tools for further learning as well as an opportunity to creatively capture their discoveries. Rounding out the camp experience will be plenty of adventurous exploration, stories around the fire at night, and the formation of a strong sense of community. Participants in this camp will experience the fantastic learning routines that have helped our adult students develop amazing naturalist skills and will leave with ideas of how to continue their journey at home. All youth overnight participants must return a signed Physician’s Medical Form by June 1. This is for the safety of our participants and our organization. Completion of this form will require a physical exam completed within one year of the course date, and an appointment with that physician for the form to be filled out. We appreciate your understanding.
