Educating and providing mentorship
for youth has always been the
cornerstone of Redtail. We teach
them how to use all their senses to
observe nature, how to read nature
signs, how to form a relationship with
wild plants and animals, how to create a
special place in nature, how to
celebrate the seasons and much more.
Many youth return to camp year after
year, finding in Redtail a place to call
their own. As the younger ones come
along those that have grown pay a visit
to touch base or lend a hand. It is all
part of the atmosphere at Redtail. |

| The warm days of summer allow us to
live closer to the Earth than any other
time of year. Redtail’s popular summer
youth camps provide 5 and 6 day camps
for youth ages 8 to 19. All camps are
based out of our summer location next to
the hemlock grove. Daily activities at
the youth camp include swimming in
upland streams, hiking, animal tracking,
shelter making, bow/drill fire making,
nature games, night walks, imagery
exercises, talking circles, music, art,
journal writing, and more. On the final
night of each camp, youth will have an
opportunity to participate in a
traditional sauna. Billy leads all summer camps and welcomes all new campers as well as those who want to
experience more of what Redtail has to
offer. |

Arrival time for all summer camps is between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM and pick-up is between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM on the final day. |
