Camp Wildcraft: Teens Edition
A rites-of-passage forest camp for teens
A structured outdoor camp where teens take on real challenges in the forest and make sense of them together. Over four afternoons, they learn to handle tools safely, build dens and other forest skills and trek through Clementi Forest, a fitting way to mark the journey.
Each day follows the same rhythm: a hands-on challenge, then time to reflect on it. Through pair and small-group tasks that call for planning, negotiation and shared roles, teens build practical outdoor confidence and learn more about themselves and the people around them.
We learn by doing, relating and experiencing, not through formal lessons.
What each day looks like
Day One: Being in the forest and learning to work with it. Guided forest exploration and awareness, an introduction to safe tool handling, and den-building.
Day Two: Making, patience and working together. More tool practice, including whittling and sawing, making simple objects, and challenges that need planning and shared roles.
Day Three: More forest skills, responsibility and closing. Outdoor safety protocols, progressive forest skills and a closing circle.
Day Four: The trek. A closing trek through Clementi Forest, with a final reflection.
