Quiet Mind Wild Heart will be teaming up with Mountain Heart Wellness for year three of exploring the White Mountains of NH: backpacking, swimming, forest bathing, mindfully exploring nature, learning to birth fire, setting up and taking down camp for the night, establishing independent capacity for caring for oneself in the woods, and connecting with our inner leaders and each other.

This is an intermediate trip, perfect for those who have some experience backpacking and hiking. This trip requires the physical fitness to carry a heavy pack for many miles per day. This trip requires a willingness to build new skills and friendships, while also pushing past the limitations created in the mind. Having an open mind and heart for the journey both in the natural world and within the body and mind are essential.

What to Expect:

Wild Play Adventures: Dive into the wonders of outdoor play, fostering creativity, resilience, and teamwork. From building forts to nature-inspired games, campers can expect a safe space to explore their natural surroundings with the comfort of their peers as well as trained and supportive adults.

Exploration of Local Wild Spaces: In addition to exploring Burley Farms, our campers will go on 2-3 off site field trips for experiences such as paddling the Lamprey River, visiting the Atlantic Ocean, and swimming at UNH.

Social and Emotional Wellness: Guided by experienced outdoor educators and counselors, our camp focuses on building essential social and emotional skills like assertive communication, empathetic listening, and mindfulness tools to support their mental wellness. Utilizing expressive outlets, like painting and writing as well as more active ones like yoga and cooperative games, campers will be encouraged to reflect on their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while also being part of a community.

Experienced Educators: Campers can expect a small youth-to-adult ratio, with our licensed educators and counselors, UNH interns, and high students (as counselors-in-training) to ensure an engaging and supportive experience.
