Creating a Legacy
It’s just after 9 AM on a Monday morning, school is off for the day, it’s fourteen degrees outside and a group of six to twelve-year-olds cannot decide what the giant pile of snow they just collaboratively made is.
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.
A Fisher Story (from the Archives)
My partner and I were hiking at this reservoir and preserve near where we live in Ithaca. It was right around sunset when we decided to sit on a log to enjoy a nice view of the forest and gorge surrounding us. Shortly after we sat down we noticed some birds in the sky – a red-tailed hawk was being harassed by a group of crows.
Welcoming the Crows, Orioles and the Downy Woodpeckers!

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!
