Earth Ways summer camp 2024 indigenous leaders
Earth Ways camp kids with Deitz

Monday – Friday, Aug 4 – 8, 9am to 3pm

Learn about indigenous ways of the Kalapuya and other Native tribes in this outdoor camp at Prospector’s Park. This day camp (9am – 3pm) includes special guest Native people who will share about culture, traditional crafts, and music. Learn some words in the Kalapuya language, make a leather pouch, learn about Pacific Northwest art forms and hear traditional stories. This camp is best for ages 7 – 11 and has a max of eleven students.

The park has a covered picnic table shelter, port a potty, and is right next to the Coast Fork of the Willamette River. We will go across on the swinging bridge, and go on nature walks. Students will try out the atlatl (spear throwing tool) and play games of sport. The river has several safe places where children can wade in shallow water and look for creatures. We treat all beings with respect and release back all creatures we find. Water shoes and tennies are most appropriate for this camp.

Location: Prospector’s Park in Cottage Grove, 360 S. River Rd. Cottage Grove, OR
