Due to popular demand, we are excited to offer the first Earth Keeper Explorers camp this year for boys aged 7-10 years. This is an exciting and empowering adaptation of the Caterpillar Girls camp for girls, but geared for boys!
Throughout the week, campers will engage in hands-on activities such as hiking, creek exploration, and fire-building. Games and teamwork are part of this immersive experience encouraging boys to gain a deeper understanding of nature and develop more confidence through knowledge and skills.
Camp Details
Earth Keeper Explorers is an empowering camp designed to help boys discover their personal connection to nature by exploring the elements of earth, air, water, fire, and spirit. Through outdoor play, creek exploration, hiking, games, and nature crafts, campers will gain a deeper understanding of nature’s ecosystems and the concept of personal ecosystems.
Each element is the theme for a day during this 5-day camp. Boys can dress thematically and games, activities, learning, and challenges also relate to the day’s element.
Monday: Earth – Bones, hiking, learning the land and its ecosystems; finding their sit spot for reflection time
Tuesday: Water – Blood (and other human liquids!); watersheds, “boat” races, and learning about Water as Life
Wednesday: Air – Breath; Air currents around the earth; why words matter and how to use them to support your goals and intentions
Thursday: Fire – Energy; good/bad fires; making a safe, leave-no-trace fire. Inner fire and how to feed it.
Friday: Inner Spirit – What makes you, YOU?
Held in beautiful Eagle, CO, surrounded by trails, tipis, and open spaces, the camp offers a rich environment where boys can roam, play, and connect with the natural world. Throughout the week, boys immerse themselves in Nature through a variety of fun, educational activities, with plenty of free time for creativity and play.
On hikes boys discover “magic” soil, breathe with plants, and track animals. They develop strength, courage, and confidence when they climb to a promontory and yell their strength into the wind. Nature-inspired games, arts, and crafts allow campers to express their creativity. Boys learn valuable skills such as way-finding and building a safe fire.
The camp encourages abundant free time for creativity and imagination, leading to adventures like building forts and dams, finding bugs in the creek, stacking stones, or simply roaring loudly!
This camp is an incredible opportunity for young boys to deepen their connection to nature, learn new life skills, and grow in confidence.
The investment for this empowering experience is $425.
