Land as Place

We help children to know the land again.

We recognize nature as teacher. Our seasonal camps with traditional activities and themes offer a place where youth create their own stories and legends, where respect for one another is common, where the connection with all living things is sacred.

Our experiential learning model expresses the core values of our Salish Medicine Wheel.
