Winter Earth Brother Warrior Camp. Camp during the last week of December when schools are out for the week between Christmas and New Years.. Spend the week playing paintball, constructing warrior crafts, and practicing marksmanship. Earth Warrior Camps are for boys who want adventure. This camp draws on warrior forces inside all boys, which for thousands of years helped our ancestors survive in the wild. The camp gets boys out in the woods, streams, mountains, ocean and other environments. The warrior wild side will surface and give each boy a more secure and meaningful connection to the earth. This day camp will feature paintball every day. Fire will be an important element and its many uses will be explored. Survival skills will be emphasized. Warrior crafts and lots of paintball are included. The first two days are day camps 9:00am to 5:00pm. The last two days include an local overnight campout.

The camp is directed by John Fishback (an Environmental Educator and certified Emergency Medical Technician) and assisted by another qualified counselor.
