Our 20th-anniversary summer is off to an amazing start! Kids are spending time with their peers, playing games, learning new things, and fostering healthful, life-long relationships with the natural world.
Lead Field Instructor
Sarah is so excited to be back for her 7th summer with Primitive Pursuits! The wooded world was the background to many of her adventures as a child, which included creek wanders in search of frogs, building forts and fairy houses, and countless other experiences that had a lasting impression on her.
Photojournalist
Ben is a local artist and photographer. He is passionate about the arts and enjoys sharing this passion with students.
Our Wilderness Year group has been together since September, and we’ve done many things together: we’ve made clay bowls and wooden bows; tanned hides and collected acorns rich in tannins we’ll have to leach out before we eat them; we’ve slept out in debris shelters and cooked on rocks; and we’ve made many, many friction fires.
