"I have
been studying wilderness survival for many years and
finally made the decision to attend my first camp,
last year, with Mark. For me it marked the
real beginning of my pursuit of wilderness survival
and
the great blessing of finding a kind teacher to
share with me the secrets of nature."

" A day spent with Mark
is comparative to a childhood memory of summer with your
best friend. When the long days were filled with
wonder and magic. Never ending discoveries of the
natural world were always present and life had a
beautiful quality that could almost be tasted. "

Teen Camp
We are not your
typical summer camp for teens.
Each morning and evening
students will gather in the 17 foot Tipi for
lessons, stories, and working on primitive skills
carving a bow drill, throwing stick and other
primitive implements.
This is not a boot
camp, but a camp where each day is an
adventure
filled with hiking, tracking, modern
and ancient orienteering.
Teens, team up and
practice their stalking and silent
movement using natural camouflage.
As a parent, you want a
personally empowering and fun camp
experience for your child. At
Lifesong
Adventures we
understand this and do our very best to make Teen
camp an exciting and educational
adventure.
