The latest newsletter, Turtle Tracks - Winter 2011, is now available!
Greetings and happy new year to everyone out there from the wilds of Turtle Island Preserve.The 2012 winter season's unusual warmth has allowed us many hours of outdoor work. We've also had a lot of visitors, guests, cabin rentals and buggy tours in a typically slow time of year. We're busily filling firewood orders, and making plans for the spring college service projects, open house, the coming workshops and of course... Summer Camp 2012!
We're still learning a lot about being a 501c3 non-profit. Hopefully it will be a benefit to everyone who interacts with the preserve. As for you, our faithful friends, the greatest compliment you can give us is a referral. Please share this special place with the rest of the world by spreading the word about our unique camp. Keep in touch and keep checking back for updates and new photos. We hope to see you out here soon!

We live, teach, breathe and believe in nature's governing truths. We interact with the beautiful clarifying teachings of nature as we interpret it's story. We are more about doing it than talking about it. We invite you to visit us and experience all that is Turtle Island!
The programs at Turtle Island Preserve are powerful and effective. We dig deep reaching profound connections within us, touching our ancestral roots. "SIMPLY REAL", we touch the sources of life directly, unshielded from nature's truths. Intimate and personal, we experience relationship building with the foundational essence of our existence.
Visiting educators, campers, and family members repeatedly and independently have exclaimed excitedly while participating in our programs, "You guys really do it!"
The easiest way to see Turtle Island Preserve is to schedule your own personal Horse Drawn Carriage Ride with Eustace! This is great for those people who want to come to Turtle Island but just can't wait for the next Open House! |
