Sunship Earth Environmental Adventure Camp for Young People

Sunship Earth is an exciting, environmental adventure experience for young
people ages 10-12. It is a weeklong sleepover camp run this summer by the
Halifax Regional Adventure Earth Centre on a beautiful lake in the Windsor
area. It is outdoor adventure and fun, with a focused purpose - to help
young people develop a strong positive relationship to the natural world and
understand the basic ecological operating principles of the planet. Their
waking hours are spent engaged in a non-stop series of outdoor activities -
from stalking mice as a coyote to sneaking into a giant leaf as a spy to
learn the secret of photosynthesis. The final stage challenges them to
examine the environmental impact of their own habits, and make a commitment
to change something to help the earth. There are also traditional fun camp
activities like swimming, canoeing, and campfires every day. Sunship Earth
runs July 21-26, and July 28-August 2, 2002. Want to know more? Check out
the web site at www.earthed.ns.ca  or call Hugh MacDonald at the Halifax
Regional Adventure Earth Centre, 490-4539.
