Wild Roots Camp: A Forest School Adventure

Let your child step into the magic of the wild at Wild Roots Camp – a week-long immersive nature experience where Mother Earth is our first teacher.

Children will enjoy hands-on activities like foraging, fire-making, and nature journaling, while also being introduced to sacred rituals and outdoor play. The camp fosters creativity, connection, and a deep love for the natural world.

Each day begins with a circle to honor the land, followed by immersive learning experiences in the forest. In addition to foraging, journaling, and fire-making, there will be opportunities for children to participate in activities shared with the ceremonial retreat that will be held at Vale Ondula in the same week.
