We are offering three daylong programs this spring based on the theme of stewardship. The programs begin at 9:30, include a continental breakfast, lunch and closing service of thanksgiving in beautiful St. Luke’s Chapel overlooking the Sound. In addition, the challenge course and climbing wall will be offered in the afternoon to provide people of all ages the opportunity to participate in some exceptional team building activities and initiatives from ground level all the way up to 30 feet.

Ecology activities will be led by our naturalist, Jeff Gottlieb, MS in Biology. Named “Outdoor Educator of 2007” by the New York Outdoor Education Association, Jeff recently published a fascinating book: “Wigwam: Building the Traditional Northeastern Domed Shelter.” He has been teaching primitive technology to children and adults in special seminars and school programs throughout the US for over 25 years.

March 30 - Gardening: Working with the soil to enlarge our gardens, build and raise beds and plant early vegetables. Learn about glacial ecology, seashore ecology, and soil. Take an interpretive nature walk to see woodlands, wetlands, and beach. Games and sports.

April 27 - Planting: Flowers, trees, and shrubs throughout the camp: black cherry, red maple, beach plum, eastern red cedar and other native species provided by a special New York State DEC program. Native American history program, featuring the camp’s wigwam and fire building without matches (friction method)! Learn about the close relationship that the first people of Long Island shared with the land and the sea.

May 10 - More planting: we will continue our planting program from April, including erosion control at the challenge course and along the bluff. Learn about ecology. Celebrate our good efforts and the gifts of springtime in a drumming circle on the camp’s handmade djembes, ashikos, and other instruments!
