Service Description
READ ALL BEFORE REGISTERING: *In weeks before camp, location, waivers, etc will be sent to the email address you provide in registration* Who?: Ages 9-13 who are interested in nature connection through wild fiber crafts, bark baskets, and wild dyes. Students in attendance must be willing and able to follow Nighthawk's rules and agreements seen at https://www.nighthawknaturalistschool.com/participantfiles When? Wednesday, 9am-1pm. Drop off 8:50-9am, Pickup 1:00-1:10 Where? This will likely be an indoor session per our region's history of poor AQI and heat this time of year. If indoors, we're hosted by COAA and we'll be using their space (but not their equipment--contact them with interest in separate aerial arts classes) at 20700 Carmen Loop #120, Bend, OR 97702. In the unlikely event that weather makes it possible, we'll be outdoors at Tumalo State Park. What? Our mentors will lead this small group through the techniques of folding up and sewing birch bark baskets using all-natural materials. We'll also dabble with wild plant dyes to make our sewing raffia and wool various colors before we sew up our bark baskets with them. We'll have breaks for nature/awareness-themed games and snacks/lunch. What to bring? Students attending should be prepared with lunch and snacks, full water bottle, and weather-appropriate clothing. If we end up outside, hat, sunscreen and water shoes may be appropriate. Nighthawk provides all materials needed for daily activities What makes Nighthawk Camps unique? Education. Small groups. Ancestral technologies... We're a small organization who places the utmost importance on an educational experience through hands-on experience, play, and exploration. If students are keen on learning skills and are passionate about learning more about their natural surroundings, this is the camp for them! Our camps will consist of only one or two small trail groups per week. We believe small groups provide for enhanced awareness and community and allows us to better tailor camps to the needs and interests of the students and their families. 10 max per camp. 5:1 Student:Teacher ratio. We are passionate about teaching and learning the ancestral technologies to which we all owe our humanness.

You will not receive a credit or a refund if you miss part or all of your program, your space does not fill after you cancel, you no-call-no-show, etc. If you decide to gift/swap your space to a friend because you can no longer attend, great!

These calls are made on a day-by-day basis and your main contacts will be notified of any changes by 1-2 hours before the start of that day's programming. That is the absolute best we can do. Weather, especially air quality, is unpredictable. We reserve the right to shift the day's program location, operate indoors, or call late start or early pickup based on unsafe conditions. We very seldomly cancel a day of program and only do so if none of these other shifts are possible that day. See more details on policy page.
