PLANT WIZARDS:
FOOD, MEDICINE, COLOR & MORE
Ages 8-12 • Fairfax
Want to learn how to make food, medicine and art with plants? Then this is the camp for you. We will go out on adventures and look for useful plants and then bring them back to camp to make things out of them. Depending on what we find, we might make natural dye, weave a basket, concoct a salve or cook up something yummy. All along we will learn how to forage respectfully and which plants are ok to harvest and which not. This camp is perfect for those who already have some experience in our programs and are ready to enhance their skills. While we do a lot of arts and crafts in this camp we will also hike to find our materials so it is an active camp.

With our very varied economical situations in the Bay Area, families have differing abilities to pay. We want our programs to serve as many children as possible regardless of financial situation.
Rate A - represents the actual cost of running a program in this area and is comparable with the rates of several local specialty camps. It funds our long-term goals and work.
Rate B - covers our basic costs for running this particular program, but it does not cover our organizational costs.
Rate C - does not cover the cost of program and is subsidized by Rate A and donations.
