At Artemis, youth will experience a variety of earth-living skills with an adventurous group of femme-identifying youth, and adult mentors. Artemis provides an energetic, social, and creative experience for emerging adolescent youth in a completely outdoor setting.
Each month, youth will be met with opportunities to learn and develop earth-living skills, practice nature-based crafts, and have new and fun experiences with caring mentors and their peers.
We will mix guided, play-based learning with structured skill-building activities to help youth develop resiliency, empowered self-reliance, confidence, and community.
Our activities include a wide variety of team-building games, which require youth to challenge their decision-making skills, voice their ideas, and cultivate a plethora of leadership capacities. These activities include awareness and sensory acuteness, self-care and care of others, quiet mind and patience, cooperation, empathy and embracing differences, puzzle solving, detecting patterns and tracking changes, and healthy assertiveness.
Our year will culminate in an overnight experience that will incorporate all the skills learned throughout the seasons. Participants learn the ins and outs of running a successful overnight by contributing to camp tasks like cooking, fire tending and camp clean up. Through this bonding experience, youth develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their interests, and their role within a community.
The name Artemis (aar-tuh-mus) comes from Greek mythology, Artemis being the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation, young women and the moon. We draw vision from these Greek Goddess to shape our program into something that meets youth’s need for challenge, skill, adventure and connection
Ages 9 to 14, Artemis – for femme identifying youth, open to all
Ages 9 to 14, Atlatl – for masc identifying youth, open to all
Ages 14 to 17, Ropes – for all teens in high school
Why are Youth Year-Round Programs gender-based?
We have polled our campers and staff and have learned that during this formative of pre-adolescence, being with a group of any gender(s), masc, or femme, identifying peers is what supports them most in feeling safe, seen, and celebrated.
Though these groups have different names, the curriculum arcs are similar throughout. We trust all campers and families to choose the group that most supports their identity and needs.
Wild Earth strives to make our programs accessible for all. If you have a disability and are interested in attending this program, please reach out to discuss with our team to see what may be possible.
