With our guest instructor @chef.jana.patterson our campers will learn the full story of food, from the ground, to kitchen, to plate! Sign up now for a week full of delicious snacks!
Joining our team this summer is Lilly Gritsavage! Lilly is our Assistant Camp Coordinator. This will be her 13th summer of summer camp, and 5th summer working on a camp staff. Lilly’s love of summer camp and environmental education is what brought her to Alaska Pacific University where she is getting her Masters in Outdoor and Environmental Education. The best part of summer camp according to Lilly is “playing games, being outside, making new friends, and of course building camp fires!”
Calling all Artists! Indigenous artist, Melissa Shaginoff, will lead campers in creating a large scale mural, on the Spring Creek Farm harvest shed, depicting medicinal and edible plants native to these Ahtna and Dena’ina lands. Through the art, campers will learn about the dual language and cultural aspects of the Ahtna and Dena’ina people.
Love it.
