The Earth Camp

My local paper had an article this week about this earth camp programme in the Akatarawa Valley  at the Organic Blueberry Farm in Upper Hutt (Wellington, New Zealand). It is a series of workshops where local experts run sessions teaching parents and children skills that are dying out such as making preserves, fly fishing, organic gardening and cooking organic recipes. I don’t have any children but it sounds a great initiative for a good family activity. The workshops run from January through to the end of April. You can find more info and their calendar of events on the Blueberry Farm blog.
