Listen to our director of Marketing chat with Tish Perlman about some of the things that make Primitive Pursuits so special.
Gratitude for the Sparks Flying
We get lots of wonderful messages from people affected by Primitive Pursuits and from the recipients of over 100 scholarships we make available each year. We want to share just one example, printed in its entirety, by permission here…
A Squirrel’s Perspective
This past Fall a group of home school learners joined a session called “Season of the Gatherers.” Our goal was to gather as much wild food as possible for the coming cold season, to eat and to practice food preservation.
We were BLOWN away by the community and engagement our son felt this summer. He came home excited to share all the new things he had learned that day (from day 1!) – as well as show us his impressive collection of sticks, rocks, bows and arrows, cordage, etc. Primitive Pursuits has fostered such a love of outdoor learning and he loved seeing counselors through the weeks (especially Pickle!) who shared his excitement for being outside and exploring. We can’t wait to send him – and his younger sister – again next year, and we’ll be ready for the muddy clothes, collection of sticks, and stories of their adventures each afternoon. Thank you, Primitive Pursuits, for making this nervous mom feel great about dropping my kiddo off at camp each day!!”
