    Kestrel: 3 Autumn Sundays

    This fall, we gather in the forest to play games, tell stories around the fire, craft, track, build and so much more!

    We warmly welcome you to Kestrel: Autumn Discovery. Together, we will safely explore the elements and build lasting friendships with each other and the land as we nurture the village the children have enriched each summer at camp.

    Children walk away from Kestrel feeling at home in nature and at home in themselves. Our staff is filled with seasoned teachers and naturalists who meet children where they are and help them to find harmony and joy both in the group and in the forest.

    Each day begins with a morning circle where thanksgiving, songs and silly movement games bring us further into our bodies. The days are filled with nature-based games that expand our awareness, storytelling from skilled instructors and visiting elders, songs inspired by nature’s beauty, stream wanders that cool us down, exploring the forest and the Shawangunk Ridge, sculpting clay from the stream banks, looking for mysteries amongst logs and rocks, building forts and shelters in the leaves, wandering the caves and boulders. At the end of the day, with leaf and flower crowns on our heads, our faces painted and smiles on our faces, we’ll return, energized from a day in the woods!

    Kestrel is where your child will:

    • Play and explore the beautiful outdoors.
    • Experience and practice a variety of wilderness skills and native technology.
    • Practice awareness, quiet-mind, animal forms, curiosity, exploration, telling the story of the day, and gratitude.
    • Face personal and group challenges tailored to build awareness, self-confidence, and group unity.

    Our Kestrel instructors are experts in guiding children to safely and freely move in the direction of their own curiosity.
