Fun archery activities for summer camps

Herbal Medicine Making - Discover what you get

Looking for a practical activity to help children to get in touch with nature? Or, want to add to an existing nature program?

You could create your own herbal medicine making program. The information is out there in parts – it’s just a matter of researching it, selecting the most useful and testing your options. However, what we offer you is our valuable insight and experience to help you eliminate potential mistakes and provide you with an activity that has a working balance of safety, fun and learning.

What you could do:

  • Hire someone to create a herbal medicine activity from scratch. This will take approximately 25hrs+ of work at roughly $10 per hour, and you will only be able to research small parts of what we offer. You will need to:
    • Research many herbal medicine resources: online, in books, publications, videos.
    • Search for equipment and ingredients online, in local stores, trade magazines, camp conferences, neighbor camps, etc.
    • Create your own lesson plans.
    • Trial and error the equipment and activity to find out safety points and logistical considerations.

  • Websites you can check out:
  • A helpful book to read on the subject:
    • “The Herbal Medicine Maker’s Handbook: A Home Manual” by James green - $15.61 on Amazon.

What we offer:

  • A lesson plan to provide a safe, fun and optimal learning environment for your campers.
  • Videos of the activity being run and prepared.
  • Equipment lists and information on where to purchase from (NB: we do not receive royalties from the suppliers that we list).
  • Safety considerations (except considerations which will be site specific – you can call us about those).
  • Photos.
  • Our trial-and-error knowledge points.
  • A one hour telephone conversation with a member of our staff, well-versed in the program, to help you adapt it to your needs and answer any questions.
  • Email contact for any questions that arise during your implementation.
  • Special offers relating to your purchase, in addition to program updates.

Benefits:

The value you will receive from our herbal medicine making package mostly comes from the benefit of watching an activity such as this being taught on video. Seeing the campers interact and viewing first-hand how this activity can be effectively taught to children is the key to building a successful program in herbal medicine making. Our hope is that we can pass our tested knowledge on to you (much of it unavailable elsewhere), and give you the tools you need to create your own camp activity without the time-consuming research.

  • You invest considerably less personal and staff time and in researching herbal medicine making, the research has been done for you!
  • You receive the benefit of our errors made, and knowledge developed from us running the program.
  • A lesson plan that focuses on the learning and development of the campers.
  • Many creative variations for the activity.
  • Reliable contact with a human being, who can answer your questions and help you adapt the program to fit your organizations needs.
  • We hope to spur innovation in your organization by planting a seed.  If you create a program we don’t have, we‘d love to talk about buying it from you for our camp!
