Earth Camp at Buffalo Cove Earth Awareness Ritual Traditions and Heritage
EARTH Camp is a tradition that began many years ago at a place called Silver Water, located in the high elevation Appalachians near Todd, North Carolina. The primary goal of EARTH Camp is to teach children how to live close to the Earth through using a wide range of earth skills and outdoor activities that promote connection and awareness. When EARTH Camp's home at Silver Water was no longer available, Buffalo Cove offered to bring EARTH Camp to the Buffalo Cove valley and keep the tradition going-with some new ideas in a new home! EARTH Camp is a 2 week program that takes place during the summer months. Participants range in age from 12-17 and come from all over the country. While at camp participants will spend time in camp doing a wide range of activities as well as time out of camp on adventures participating in life-lasting learning experiences. Earth Camp 2010: Download the application here: 2010 Earth Camp Application EARTH Camp - July 5 – 18, cost $1400. Two weeks of great skills, crafts, adventure, community and fun. In camper’s words, EARTH camp is: “a breath of fresh air” – “a place where I can be the real me” - “a place where I not only am taught, but allowed to experience.” Enrollment limit is 20. We are excited to announce a couple new opportunities for summer 2010: Walk About July 18-24,cost $600. Over the last few years, we have had requests from our older campers for a more extended expedition type program. This year we are going to give it a try and see if the interest is there. Walk About will be for campers who have been to EARTH Camp before and are at least 14 years old. It will take place the week following our regular EARTH Camp session. The group will prepare for the expedition and be in the field, self sustained, for 6 days. It will be full of beauty, adventure, group dynamics and challenge. We will need at least 6 campers signed up for Walk About to make it “fly”. Enrollment limit is 10. EARTH Camp Explorers –July 23 – 28, cost $500. Explorers is for those campers not quite old enough for our 2 week session but do not want to miss out on the fun! This session is for 8-12 year olds. We will have a wonderful introduction to the skills, knowledge, fun and adventure that Buffalo Cove has to offer! Enrollment is limited to 16.
