Wheel of the Wild Summer Gathering ages 8-12, Molalla

For ages 8-11. We welcome your daughter into an opportunity to step into the timelessness of interacting with the natural world, creating with her hands, and exploring aspects of herself in a safe container with peers. This is an incredible opportunity to build authentic relationships, enjoy making handicrafts, explore nature as a mirror, play, sing, and a myriad of other wonderful things. This gathering is held on a 60-acre biodynamic family farm, orchard, wilderness and oak savannah in Molalla, Oregon. Surrounded by a large fruit orchard, many sheep, chickens, and the occasional coyote <3

A week of nature, creativity, and belonging

This is a five-day summer camp rooted in land, friendship, and creative expression. This immersive experience invites girls into a joyful, hands-on week of nature connection, council circles, expressive arts, wildcrafting, storytelling, song, and skill building.

We will move through the arc of the medicine wheel over the course of the week.

We will explore the landscape, learn respectful harvesting practices, create with clay and fiber, prepare garden snacks, craft simple herbal projects, and gather in circle to share stories and reflections. Through play, creativity, and guided mentorship, girls build confidence, resilience, and meaningful friendships.

Our camp is intentionally small to create a safe, supportive environment where each participant is seen and valued. This is a space where girls can move their bodies, use their voices, learn practical skills, and deepen their connection to the earth — while having a whole lot of fun.

This is more than a camp — it’s a magical exploration <3

The magic of what we will get our hands into together: 

• working with clay

• foraging and medicine making 

• singing and storytelling

• role play, voice dialogue and embodiment 

• garden food prep & tea making

• working with flowers & bundle dyeing

• challenges on the land

• whittling & knife skills

• infused oils and self-care bundles

Please note that this is a 100% nature immersion camp, we will have tarps and other seating areas away from the hot sun. All participants will be using a composting toilet (in an enclosed outhouse).
