A Rewarding Week of Staff Training

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!

Silence Isn’t an Option

Like so many of you, we are saddened, grieving, and outraged at the recent murders of George Floyd in Minnesota, Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, Tony McDade in Florida, and Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia.

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!!”
