Summer Camps
Where girls grow roots
Nature-based summer camps in Montana for girls and non-binary kids ages 7+, where campers make their own herbal medicine, swim, sing, and slow down, away from screens and with people who see them.
Registration for 2027 camps coming February 1.
Why Earth Within?
Earth Within summer camp is a place to slow down and be in nature, to make things with your hands, and to be around trusted mentors and a peer community that holds you with respect and tenderness. It’s a place where it’s safe to be silly, messy, curious, scared, and everything in between.
What is camp?
Each week-long camp blends herbalism, nature play, and body literacy. Campers learn to identify local and native plants, harvest them ethically and intuitively, and turn them into real remedies and self-care tools they get to keep.
Days at camp include:
Plant medicine: plant ID, foraging, and easy-to-replicate recipes for first aid, hormone support, and stress relief
Grounding practices: breathwork, yoga, and movement to calm the nervous system
Nature adventures: exploratory foraging walks and swimming
Creative play: eco art, crafting, and unstructured time to simply be together
Song and ritual: morning song time, dance, and daily rituals
Body wisdom: age-appropriate learning about natural cycles, with our Cycle Workbook
Who is camp for?
Camp is for girls and non-binary students ages 7+ who are curious, creative, and ready to spend a week outside.
No plant knowledge or experience required. Whether your camper is a budding herbalist, a lifelong swimmer, a shy observer, or a big personality, there’s a place for them at camp.
Camp is especially meaningful for kids who are:
Approaching or entering adolescence and looking for a safe, supportive space
Craving time outdoors and away from technology
Looking to connect with peers outside their school setting
Interested in making things with their hands

They will learn about the energy of plants and group them into full moon vs. new moon categories.
