ACADEMIC/ SPECIAL INTEREST
CAMPS A Week in the Woods Sponsor: weekinthewoods. org Ages: 7-107 Dates: June 25-29 Location: Tanana Valley State Forest Description: A Week in the Woods is an opportunity for adults and youth to work side by side, inventing and creating objects from the natural resources found in the forest. WITW values the interaction between youth and adults in the artistic process, however, WITW is not a dedicated youth camp and youths 18 years old and younger must be accompanied by adults who are not
only responsible for them, but who plan to learn along with them. (Teenagers, age 16-18, won’t necessarily have to work with their adult co-learner on projects.) Adults also provide the coaching and guidance necessary for youth to focus and complete their ideas. WITW instructors are skilled craftsmen and encouraging teachers, but they do not provide the discipline and persuasion often necessary to help youth carry out their plans. Adults are ultimately responsible for the progress of their youth colearners. Cost: $425 http://weekinthewoods.org Contact: Rebecca Levey, 455-7473, info@weekinthewoods.org
