This is where it all begins! Campers will be introduced to
the forest world in a wonderous and exciting way and given
a chance to experience their own relationship with the
natural world and creativity.
The building blocks of this new relationship are rooted in
ancient Primitive Living Skills and forms of Artistic
Expression that have been lived by all people throughout
the world. These practices include mask making, natural
sculpting projects, watercolor, sketching, creative
journaling, storytelling, personal shelter construction
from only what materials the landscape provides, fire
making methods using no matches or lighters, techniques for
finding and gathering safe drinking water in the woods,
silent movement, observing animals and birds, tracks and
sign, and feeling the sense of belonging and fellowship
with the forest. Above all, the most important skill is
the cultivation of the imagination and the wonder of a
Questioning mind.
Through the blended guidance of talented local professional
artists with highly skilled Coyote Trails instructors,
Earth Art campers will experience a week at EarthTeach with
greater environmental awareness, deeper appreciation for
cultural and creative diversity, and begin an amazing
exploration of their artistic relationship with nature,
themselves, and their community.
There is no other opportunity in Southern Oregon that so
uniquely combines all of these endeavors in such an amazing
nature setting as EarthTeach Forest Park.
