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…
New Wednesday Program Starts October 21st
NOT a Zoom Class. Unplug and get out in the woods for some fun! Explore the forest and learn the ancient art of wilderness survival through stories, games, and projects.
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!!”
