Join us as we play and connect with new friends and Mother Earth through Nature Awareness games, ancestral crafts, teamwork, community service and primitive skills.

We will learn edible and medicinal plants, herbal medicine making, and share our hearts through song, play, council circles and simple earth based rituals. We will serve the community, grow our ability to work as a team and hone awareness of each girl’s strengths and leadership qualities.
