Best of City Nature Camp

Travel to 5 of Portland’s wildest places with our partner ReWild Portland! You won’t feel like you’re in the city at all! Expand your awareness as you listen to what the animals have to say. Get lost and find your way in North America’s biggest city park. Track animals on a beach where otters play. Climb an extinct volcano. Craft a basket out of invasive ivy plants. Make a healing salve with medicinal plants. It’s all part of this exciting camp which is a great introduction to our “Wilderness Skills Overnight Camp”.

Have the skills to make it out of the woods alive? Develop the ability to rely on intuition as you deepen personal awareness. These skills will build confidence & enhance an appreciation of our natural world. Make fire by rubbing two sticks together. Experience constructing a shelter from forest material & spending the night in it. How can we create a simple survival knife from rocks or hone bow & arrow techniques? Or navigate by the stars?
