Summer Camp 2024

Logo Aliannah Earth School

Summer Camp Season is upon us
Time to get wild, magical and creative with the elements!

Ages 5-12 all weeks AND 1 special Pender Island Big Kids Camp Aug 12-16

​

 

 

 

​

Our Summer Camps are children led and curiosity based learning styles, filled with nature art and practical wilderness skills such as bush-crafting skills, fort building, rope tying and carving.

​

 

​

​


Other fundamental activities in our arts and crafts involve the use of natural materials such as leaf printing, rock decorating, wooden doll creating, wand making, or pouring beeswax salves with healing plants. We also play around with singing, rhythm and music inspired by sounds in nature, like bird calls. Furthermore, we create little theatre skits that show the lessons of boundaries, love, humour, and respect to the animals and trees, as well as other humans! All of these activities are inspired by the principles of building a home in nature, creativity in arts and imaginary role playing.

 

​

​​
 

​​​

We learn about local Pacific North West coastal plants and animals through circle story telling, drawing upon teachings from different cultures including local indigenous stories and seasonal medicine wheels. We also explore a wide variety of nature settings such as coastal beaches, forests and many of the habitats in-between with questions and nature games with fun body movement, journalling, face painting and puppet making.

Most importantly each day is different because we tailor the experience with awareness based on the individual children and group dynamics. Each week is caringly curated and guided by experienced wilderness school mentors. You might ask 'How does it work with an age range of 5-12 in your camps?' We find that it works as a benefit rather than a detriment because the older kids care for the younger ones and share skills, while the younger ones learn off the older ones who are empowered to be role models. We function as a family as a whole and also split up into smaller friend circles for sharing with peers, or for skill levels and challenges that help us grow. Our small class sizes also means our staff to student ratio is 1 adult per 3-5 kids which helps us attentively mentor each child so they get the most care out of nature camp experiences.
It takes a a village to raise each other!

Camp with Jackie is straight summertime magic. 

 

My daughter signed up for one week and before the summer was done she’d spent more than a month with Jackie and my son had joined in. Her camp is full of infectious magic. When we have friends visit in the summer the first thing we do is sign all the kids up to “Jackie Camp”. They all come home happy, filthy, and full of adventures - exactly what a summer’s day should be full of.

 

Her older kid camps are a wonderful experience for the bigger kids, nurturing adventurous spirits and encouraging independence. The little kid camps are full of fun and laughter and magic. Every day they come home with a craft or a story or a play they’ve made up. It’s wonderful. 

 

The true testament to Jackie’s brilliance is seeing my kids leap out of bed in the morning, excited to get going to find out what the day holds - because it’s always different, always thrilling, and always the best.

 

There’s quite simply, no better camp around for pure, undiluted, childhood summertime fun and adventure.
