Devin and Michelle at Kripalu:

Celebrating the Family: Thriving in Nature
July 1–4, 2011

For families of all kinds with children ages 6–13.

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable adventure in earth-living skills and family fun. Drawing on the wisdom of earth-based people throughout the world, this program offers stories, skills, games, and crafts to develop your relationship with the natural world while inspiring fun and personal growth for every family member. Led by experts in earth-living skills and community building, you will discover the riches of Kripalu’s scenic land.

Authentic and enduring connections with the natural world will be created throughout the weekend while the bonds within each family deepen. Parents will find their wonder and joy in the out-of-doors reawakened as they enjoy the peaceful and nurturing qualities of the Berkshire landscape.

Time in nature slows the mind, awakens the senses, and supports joyful family memory-making. Families will learn together how to light a fire without matches, construct primitive shelters, and identify and prepare wild edible plants. Using the skills of animal tracking and identification, you will learn about local animals and the clues they leave behind. Bring your whole family to explore, laugh, grow, and discover as a community thriving in nature.

Note All children and teens must be accompanied by an adult registered for this program.
