Primitive Pursuits - Hunter Gatherer Week 2

"For three million years we were hunter gatherers, and it was through that way of life that a brain so adaptable and so creative eventually emerged. Today we stand with the brains of hunter gatherers in our heads, looking out on a modern world..." -Richard Leakey

Summon the sleeping human within! Reawaken your ancestral self while using the tools of the eldest hunters: atl-atl, rabbit stick and bow. Explore plant cultivation by harvesting from fields and forests with ancient tools made by your hands. This week we will be joined by special guests who have mastered some of these ancient arts. Participants may complete a special project under the guidance of a craftsperson.

Times: Hunter Gatherer II: August 27-31

Day camp programs run Monday through Friday from 9am - 3pm with staff supervision from 8:30am - 3:30pm for your added convenience.
