Wilderness Awareness School: Overnight Summer Camps Recently Updated

Wilderness Awareness School is focused on helping young people develop an understanding and appreciation of the natural world, connecting with other students, and growing their self-awareness and self-appreciation. Over the course of their week at camp, teens will learn hands-on skills, complete empowering tasks, discover entirely new ways to have fun outdoors, and learn from our nature-based curriculum.

Campers will spend an exciting week honing their skills and feeling enlivened in nature!

At Wilderness Survival Overnight, teens will learn to build a fire from friction, identify and harvest edible and medicinal plants, cook over open fire and coals, and create a shelter.

Bowcraft Overnight Camp is all about archery, as teens make their very own longbow, learn archery skills, and play stealth forest games. 

Ranger Overnight is for teens who love to move. Using camouflage and stealthy movement, campers will learn to move invisibly through the forest, tracking animals, decoding the language of the birds, and enjoying challenges and games.

Wolf Tracking is our staff's favorite camp. This expedition takes teens to the other side of the Cascades, where students learn about eastside ecology, wolves, and track mammals through mountains and streams while being mentored by our most skilled staff.
