We have two main fundraisers per year. The Fall Festival is our bigger of the two and just gets bigger and better every year. We have local artisan and other vendors, many raffle prizes, a duck race, live music, lots of delicious food, activities for kids and adults. Since vendors often want a covered space, we miss out on vendors every year. To celebrate our 20th year, we are trying to pull off renting a large tent to accommodate them. Every sponsorship will help us get closer to reaching more people and growing to achieve our mission.&nbsp; Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable. <span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Rubik,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Rubik, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">Relevant for packages:<span fr-original-style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Rubik,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Rubik, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">* Sponsors will be listed in the newsletter before the event if sponsorships are secured by the time the newsletter is being written, around the end of August.

Camp days:Daily experiences will stem mainly from self guided choices sprinkled with facilitation of survival skills, nature art, reading books, yoga, hiking, exploration of our pond and stream, barn animals, local plants, bugs, animals and community fun. &nbsp;The mission is centered on the learner! &nbsp; Our program allows your child the opportunity to commune with nature in a way that meets them where they are. &nbsp;Luckily, Amberations is positioned next to the Community Center making our nature experience a little more modern, when needed! &nbsp;Use of the Community Center for restroom needs, inclement weather and activities requiring electricity are available daily.&nbsp; What to wear:Plan on watching the weather every morning before sending your child to camp so you may make informed decisions about daily attire. &nbsp;Count on your child coming home dirty! &nbsp;Please keep the nice clothing in the dresser at home and send your child to camp with weather appropriate attire. &nbsp;Do not underestimate rain boots! &nbsp;Sneakers or shoes built for creek walking are also suggested. &nbsp;Sweatshirts are recommended as mornings can be chilly in August.

Facilitators: Carrie Empie, MS EducationWelcome! &nbsp;I am excited to facilitate your loved ones&#39; experience in the woods at Amberations! &nbsp;The property at Amberations is very dear to me as it enabled my business, Outdoor Life Learners, to run a nature immersion program for four beautiful years. &nbsp;Owning part of the business and learning with humans in the woods taught me what true living and learning should look like! &nbsp;My background as a New York State certified educator with over 25 years experience, has provided me with the experience to do this job with knowledge and integrity. &nbsp;In addition to education, I am certified as a Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master and now working towards becoming a Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Consultant. &nbsp;I am thrilled to be back in the woods with young explorers. &nbsp;Thank you for the opportunity and see you outside!&nbsp; Mary Zainchowski, A.A.S. Natural Resources Conservation&nbsp;I have always enjoyed working with children in an outdoor setting! My first job was as a lifeguard where I taught swim lessons and loved it so much I did it for the next 8 years. During my time at Finger Lakes Community College, I had an internship at Cumming Nature Center as a Forest School Teacher, where I was offered a job and loved exploring the woods, learning knife and fire skills, and exploring nature art and cooking with the children. Then I had my son, Rune, and continued enjoying my love of nature with him. We attended O.L.L. when Rune was barely walking and became volunteers at Amberations, which we continue to this day! I now homeschool and work part time at the Elbridge Free Library, where I bring nature into the library for crafts, story hour and homeschool hangouts. We are so excited to have a fun (and safe!) time sharing in the magic of Amberations. &nbsp; Paperwork:You must complete Wilderness Explorer Forms (emergency contact, waiver, etc.) at least 3 full days prior to the start of camp or your child will not be able to attend camp. Forms can be completed <a fr-original-style="" href="https://app.waiverelectronic.com/s/o5qcfkcT" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">here.</a> Food Allergies:Sometimes we have campers with food allergies. &nbsp;In this case, we will make families aware of the specific allergy prior to camp and invite families to pack lunches without the troublesome food product. &nbsp;We very much care about the wellbeing of our campers and ask families to plan lunches accordingly to ensure a safe and happy camp experience! &nbsp;Thank you for your consideration in advance! Child Safety:Amberations does not provide one on one aids to our day campers. &nbsp;If your child has a unique ability requiring extra assistance, it is your responsibility to procure one. &nbsp; Bullying:It is of utmost importance our campers have an enjoyable safe experience while at Amberations. &nbsp;Adverse behavior will be addressed and taken seriously. Our Amberations Wilderness Explorers staff reserves the right to handle adverse behavior in a kind and zero tolerance manner. &nbsp;In the event a child has caused injury, emotional pain and or property damage the child will not be invited back to camp and no refund will be issued. &nbsp; Cancellation or Program Delay Details:In the event of inclement weather before or during camp, a camp facilitator will contact listed guardian and convey plans for the day. &nbsp;Use of the Community Center during storms will be employed when needed. &nbsp;Please be sure to check your phones before leaving your homes for information on cancellations or delays.<span contenteditable="false" draggable="false" fr-original-class="fr-img-caption fr-draggable fr-bordered" fr-original-style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; width: 405px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: bottom; max-width: calc(100% - 5px); text-align: right; float: right;" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; width: 405px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: bottom; max-width: calc(100% - 5px); text-align: right; float: right; position: relative;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1770223433/wysiwyg/x6cynrrm089jedbok6dh.png" width="337" style="margin: 0px auto auto 0px; width: 405px; height: 405px; position: relative; max-width: 100%; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; border: 5px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 405px; height: 405px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable fr-bordered"><span contenteditable="true" fr-original-class="fr-inner" fr-original-style="" style="outline: transparent solid 0px; margin: auto; display: block; padding: 5px 5px 10px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; box-sizing: border-box; opacity: 0.9; width: 100%;">CDC Safety Guidelines: Wildfires and Wildfire Smoke *Air Quality: &nbsp;These are unprecedented times. &nbsp;In the event the air quality is adverse, WIlderness Explorers Camp reserves the right to cancel camp based on the CDC guidelines. &nbsp;Alternatively, we invite families to make educated decisions about their child&#39;s wellbeing if camp is in session that day. Illness:In the event your child has symptoms of fatigue, fever, or respiratory changes, please plan on an alternative plan than camp until your child&#39;s health improves. &nbsp;Campers becoming ill during nature camp hours will be assisted and cared for and expected to be picked up from camp if the facilitators deem as such. &nbsp;A facilitator will reach out to the child&rsquo;s guardian provided on the emergency forms. No refunds will be given once campers are signed up.&nbsp; Again, thank you for trusting us with your child. &nbsp;Safety is our number one goal as always. &nbsp;We are very excited to meet your kiddo and join them on their path to grow in nature! <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1770223668/wysiwyg/rv9ijfjitnkcahjq7gmv.jpg" width="122" height="157" style="margin: 5px auto; display: block; vertical-align: top; max-width: calc(100% - 10px); text-align: center; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="margin: 5px auto; display: block; vertical-align: top; max-width: calc(100% - 10px); text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">
