Earth Sisters Overnight Camp

July 18, 2023 - July 20, 2023

Ages: 10-15

NorthWoods’ camp for girls and non-binary kids is back and ready to help campers build connections with one another and the natural world. Returning to our overnight roots of the past, this three-day camp will be dedicated to exploring local wonders, building our survival and camp skills, learning about the natural communities around us, and discovering how to face new experiences and challenges as a team. Tuesday’s focus will be on camp comradery – building our own full value contract, testing out the NorthWoods’ low ropes course elements, and hiking up to the glacial erratic to set up camp. Wednesday will be all about water, as we hike from the glacial erratic to Echo Lake and spend our day exploring the lake and perfecting our paddling skills via canoe, before we set up our tents along the shoreline. On Thursday, we’ll travel back to NorthWoods for a guided craft, animal investigations, and games before our final celebration at the pond.

Location: NorthWoods Stewardship Center, 154 Leadership Dr, West Charleston, VT
