Camp Facilities Coyote Camp, Raccoon Camp & School Programs Since 2002, our overnight programs have had a home at Riverbend Camp, an 800 acre property on the banks of the Williams River in Rockingham Vermont (near Bellows Falls and Springfield). A varied landscape of fields, thickets, woods and a wetland support a diverse population of plants and animals. A year-round mountain stream with an awesome waterfall joins the river right near our camp. Our simple but comfortable outdoor camp includes an outdoor kitchen with running spring water, large tents and canvas covered wigwams, and a central stone fire pit. Wild edible plants as well as plant resources for crafts abound on the property as do tracking opportunities. We have seen deer, turkey, fishers and a bear as well as evidence of coyotes and foxes. Otter Day Camp Otter Camp 2005 was held at Fort Dummer State Park in Brattleboro. The location worked very well with a lovely creek down the hill, lots of varied woods and a small field. The 2006 Location is tentatively Fort Dummer State Park. Stay tuned for details.   Health and Safety We keep a well stocked first aid kit on site and there is always an instructor on site trained to the level of Wilderness First Responder. Medical care is available at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, about a 15 minute drive away. Springfield Hospital is a 15 minute drive from Coyote Camp. We emphasize safety, particularly awareness around knives, saws and fire, as well as good hygiene as ways of minimizing the need for medical care. In 7 years and almost 2300 person-days of programming we have had only one injury serious enough to require a couple of stiches and have never had an illness that required a participant to leave a program.
