A 5-day & 4-night adventure for ages 10-16. (the 4 remaining spots are now open to girls only)
July 23rd-27th, 2017
July 23rd-27th, 2017
Spend some fun time on the water as we adventure into Sugar Creek near Turkey Run State Park. Along the way we will gather wild edible and medicinal plants, catch fish, track wildlife on the sandbars, and camp along the river banks. In the evenings we'll build a fire-by-friction to cook our food and share stories and songs of the day.
The first night will be spent at the Wild Nature property in Bloomington where we will play some games, get to know each other, and sleep out under the stars. Then we'll head out in the morning to the canoeing outfitters on Sugar Creek. We will spend the first day canoeing, the second day exploring the beautiful forests, creeks, and waterfalls, and then the third day canoeing again. The last night will be a celebratory evening together before heading back to Bloomington the next day.
