eNewsletter - March 2019

Happy Spring! The sun is shining, birds are singing, and nature's promise of renewal is here. Everything seems to be waking up from a long winter's sleep. This past month has been a season of transition, that we've been staying present with here at Twin Eagles. We've stayed busy testing our fire making skills, reading the stories on the landscape told by wildlife tracks, sharing song with community, and celebrating the end of the winter season. We've also been working hard to prepare for our upcoming spring programs and summer camps, which we're very excited for! We're grateful for life, and hope you are

Summer Camps 2019

It never ceases to amaze me how our summer camps just keep growing and growing, every year getting larger and every year registration happens faster. Some camps are now almost full, but most still have plenty of space. We've got an amazing lineup of camps this year, so if you are considering having your kids join us this summer, we encourage you to enroll soon in order to get the best selection. Every year we have families who don't get their first choice, so now is your time to get access to the full selection of our camps! We have online registration that is quick and easy.

Our nature based summer camps let kids be kids again, giving them the chance to be wild and free. In today's world, kids suffer from lives that have become over-structured, over-sterilized, and over-intellectualized. Children are engulfed in an increasingly disconnected, technological world that leads to the degeneration of health on all levels – physical, mental, emotion, and spiritual. Can you remember what it used to feel like to be a kid during the summer? I do. It was my ticket to freedom. Timeless moments of connecting with the wild places. Friendships deepening until we felt more like siblings. Running through our imagination and nature at the same time. Quiet moments alone just sitting by a creek, letting all the worries of life just drift away. Current research has now proven that these types of experiences lead to increased physical, mental & social health, a sense of peace, care for the Earth, increased concentration, greater creativity and resiliency. As a father and camp director, this is what I stand for, for my own children and for our community's children. Our summer camps maximize all of this, and indeed are good medicine for the challenges today's kids face in our post-modern world, bringing them back to their truest nature.

This coming summer we are offering fourteen full weeks of summer camp in Sandpoint, Coeur d'Alene, Spokane, and Priest River. They include:

This summer we are continuing our inspirational theme based day camps here at Twin Eagles! 2019 Day Camp themes include:

Nature Adventurers Day Camp - Mystery and adventure await all those who heed the call of the wild. Have you ever looked out onto a wild landscape, and imagined all the possible natural adventures, just waiting to be experienced?

Wilderness Survival Day Camp - There is an ancient calling deep in the heart to experience the freedom and adventure of living wild and free, close to nature - to provide for one's own needs directly from the Earth...

Nature Ninjas Day Camp - Nature ninjas are the eyes and ears of the tribe, protectors of the village. They are masters of stealth, camouflage, and invisibility, traveling unseen and unheard amongst the shadows...

These theme based camps are only for our day camps for kids ages 6 - 13, and are very popular. That said, we especially encourage you to register for these soon!

Father-Son Wilderness Program

For fathers and their 7 - 12 year old sons
Friday April 12 - Monday April 15, 2019
Cedar Springs - Sandpoint, Idaho This program is full!

Father Son Wilderness Program

Imagine taking four days with your son(s), and connecting deeply with nature and your boy(s) through ancestral wilderness survival skills, all within a small "tribe" of other fathers & sons that are like minded with similar values.

Since the dawn of time, fathers and sons have bonded deeply in and with the wilderness. Ancestral wilderness skills have an innate ability to deepen the Father-Son connection like nothing else. This Spring, we're running a very special Father-Son Wilderness Program at Twin Eagles. During this program, we'll make fire by friction, build and sleep in natural shelters, learn traditional hunting and gathering techniques, and track wild animals. Primitive wilderness survival isn't a "Man vs. Wild" scenario, it is an opportunity to build a deep relationship with the Earth. As you and your son do so, you'll find that your relationship with your son deepens in powerful ways.

We'll have facilitated, open heart Father-Son relationship deepening time, and of course opportunities to connect with the other fathers and sons present. Just as our earth based ancestors did, we'll utilize traditional earth based spiritual practices to help facilitate the connection, and have surprise elements too. We're looking for fathers and sons who are ready to open their bodies, minds, and hearts to a deeper connection, have epic fun, and take the time to connect with what matters most.

Interested, or know someone who might be? Learn more here.

Girls Rite of Passage

For 13 - 16 year old girls
Thursday May 9 - Sunday May 12
Cedar Springs, Sandpoint, Idaho

The journey from childhood to adolescence is a dramatic time of development. Just like the fledgling bird that leaves the nest, the Girls Rite of Passage is an opportunity for girls to expand their wings and begin to take flight. It's a crossing. A place where two roads meet. Those two roads are where your daughter was once a child and is now emerging into adolescence.

The Girl's Rite of Passage is a coming of age ritual that has been taking place since humans have been on the planet. These types of traditions are common throughout the world and across cultures. It's a unique blueprint that stands apart from every day ordinary life and at the same time, brings new depth, understanding and meaning to it.

Boy's Rite of Passage

For 13 - 16 year old boys

How many men can look back to the moment they stopped being a boy? How many men can say that they were initiated into the mature masculine by caring, emotionally mature male mentors? How many men developed deep self confidence in their early teens to carry them through the tumultuous time of adolescence?

For the first time in the past eight years, we're offering the Twin Eagles Boy's Rite of Passage to our broader community. The Twin Eagles Boy's Rite of Passage is:

A conscious, authentic, formal initiation to mark the leaving behind of boyhood and the entrance into adolescence for boys ages 13-16
Rooted in real relationships, nature, ceremony, and nurturing the psyche.
A deep acknowledgement of who the boy is becoming.
A process to meet the growing developmental needs of his body, mind, heart, and soul.
Big support for him to develop emotional maturity.
Deepening long term relationships

Please reach out to Tim Corcoran directly if you're interested in the Twin Eagles Boy's Rite of Passage.
