Over the last twelve years this program has introduced hundreds of children to the wonders of natural living. It is perfect for those campers who are ready to participate in their very first “wilderness expedition.” The first two days of base camp life are filled with useful work around the village, learning new skills and making new friends. We will then leave for a three-day canoeing journey on one of our beautiful local lakes. We will paddle out in search of a very special place to set camp and create our new home. Settling into the rhythm of paddling, campfire meals, stories and songs, our life will be full and rich. Every day there will be time for swimming, exploration, play and wilderness crafts.

ADVENTURES AT PUMPKIN HILL VILLAGE

Teachers: Sueño LeBlond and Baruch Schwadron
7 days, Easy-Moderate
Skill level: Beginner
Ages 9.5 -11, August 2-8
This program was fashioned from the book, Children of Noisy Village, by Astrid Lindgren.

During this exciting week, young campers will enjoy oldfashioned adventures at Pumpkin Hill Village. Each day we will rise and shine to greet the day with a stretch and possible swim. Morning chores will involve cooks, firewood and water gatherers, and caretakers of the farm animals and the garden. We will then be ready for a yummy breakfast cooked over an open fire. Morning activities may include handwork, clay sculpture, woodworking, beadwork, berry picking or forest exploration. After lunch and rest, we may ride in the horse drawn wagon, make jam, canoe, swim and, of course, play games. After supper there will be singing and storytelling before sweet dreams overcome the tired villagers.

"As soon as she saw me at the end of the week she exclaimed that the week was not long enough, she was not ready to leave her new friends and she definitely wanted to come back."
