OUTDOOR DAY CAMP - Meeting Nature Through Miwok Eyes


  • Monday through Friday      August 12 - 16      8:30 to 11:30am 

  • For Ages 8 and up

  • $53 for the week 


We will share an immersion into the abundant world of nature as experienced by the local Native American Tribe, the Miwoks.  Youth and openhearted adults will live as tribal members adopting Native American names and cultural observances.  We will use what nature has provided to create tools, meals, clothing and shelter.  The last morning will conclude with a tribal sharing of food and ceremony with guests.   


Offered through Lafayette Parks and Recreation Department summer camps, this camp will take place at the Lafayette Community Garden and Outdoor Learning Center, which is across Mt. Diablo Blvd from the entrance to the Reservoir. 


Educator, Peggy Magilen, will lead this experience assisted by other members of the Community Garden.
