Train Track Trackin’
Last Saturday, eleven trackers followed the creek along a 1-mile stretch of train tracks for the first outing of the Primitive Pursuits Winter Tracking Series.
New and Exciting Adventures Unfolded In Week 5
Sometimes the day’s plan is not always what happens, and that’s ok!
Campers Adventure Far and Wide Week 4
Primitive Pursuits branched out to natural areas all around Ithaca this week, expanding far beyond 4-H Acres.
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!!”
