About This Activity
Earth Roots is our foundational overnight camp, designed for both new and returning campers. Get back to your roots and learn the philosophy of living close to nature, wilderness survival, and how to nurture your connection to the earth. We will explore the surrounding forests and swim in wild water as we discover more about the magical world of nature, through building natural shelters, making fires without matches, and preparing wild plants for food. During the day we craft, explore the wild and live the timeless good life of a summer in nature. In the evening, we gather around the central fire for stories of wild adventures, laughter, and music. At night, campers sleep in their own tent, either alone or with a friend. For meals, they cook in small groups to learn how to prepare nourishing food in an outdoor setting. Campers learn independence, as well as to work cooperatively. They will make new friends. They will gain confidence in both living and feeling at home in the natural world. LES overnights are a safe place where kids can try new things and discover more about who they are.
