A Rewarding Week of Staff Training
The sound of sounds of our training week was the sound of conversation, storytelling, and laughter. Of all the camps that Primitive Pursuits will host this season, Staff Training is the first.
We come together during this time to prepare. We come together to bring out the best in each other. That’s what we love about Staff Training week and that’s what we hope to do with all of you this summer!

Primitive Pursuits Welcomes New Program Sponsor—Taitem Engineering

A Letter from Co-Founder Tim Drake
I picked up the “ball” called Primitive Pursuits when I was 20 years old and ran with it because every child I had ever worked with, had ever met for that matter needed it. From those at Cornell’s daycare center to my own nieces and nephews.
A Beautiful Day Off
On one of the most gorgeous days of autumn, kids in the Ithaca area were fortunate to have the day off of school! Many were out and about in town, or playing in their yards, and maybe a few were inside watching cartoons. Dozens were exploring the grounds of 4-H Acres as part of our first Hunter-Gatherer school break day of the season.
