SUMMARY:Spring Village Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:Spring Village Camp Teen Rite of Passage Tickets on Sale Now!!\nFirekeepers’ Spring Village Camp\n29th September to the 3rd October at Rowallan Scout Camp\, Riddells Creek\nGeneral Sale Postponed to August 19th!\nThe kookaburras are singing us home – back to country\, back to community and back to connection. \nOur volunteer-led community model is thriving\, dear friends\, and we’re so excited to be blowing on the embers of our fourth rekindled Village Camp! \nThis spring from the 29th September to the 3rd October we will return once again to beautiful bushy Wurundjeri Country in Riddells Creek to reconnect with nature\, ourselves\, family and community. \nThis year we’re taking a little more time before opening general village registrations because we’re tending to something important. Our Teen Rite of Passage is returning to Village Camp. \nWe believe adolescence deserves more than being rushed through. It deserves community\, challenge\, belonging and ceremony. \nVillage Camp has always been more than an event. It’s a living village\, woven with care\, where children\, teenagers\, adults and elders all find a place to belong. A place to reconnect to the living world. \nThis year our Spring Village Camp will include a dedicated Teen Rite of Passage. \nAdolescence is one of life’s great thresholds yet in our culture it is so often left unmarked. We are preparing a journey for teens to mark this passage into young adulthood. Over several days\, our teenagers will be invited into challenge\, responsibility\, story\, deep connection and an overnight journey on Country. Held by experienced mentors and witnessed by community. Because adolescence deserves ceremony. \nDo you have a teen that is looking for a place where young people are seen\, trusted and welcomed into the next season of life? We can’t wait to welcome them to the Village! \nBook Now for Spring Village Camp tickets for teens participating in the rite of passage and their families. \n*** PLEASE NOTE *****\nTickets for the GENERAL PUBLIC will be released 19 August at 7:30am  \nTo all the other-than-teens who were poised\, ready to fling open their computers and pounce on tickets like a hungry spotted quoll\, we’re so sorry to keep you waiting. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the joyful complexity of balancing the numbers at village camp. \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nHeed the call and rediscover your inner wild. \nCome alive with a vibrant community of humans. \nImmerse yourself in the wonder and wisdom of nature. \nGather by the campfire and learn earth-based skills. \nWatch your kids thrive in the wild. \nAnd most importantly – help us rekindle the village fire! \nAs always\, this is a family friendly\, drug and alcohol-free event\, and everyone is welcome – from the freshest joeys to the wisest elders – diversity in the forest and the village is what we’re all about! There’ll be mentor programs for the young ones\, fire-by-friction\, sharing circles\, shared meals in the Willum\, stories\, songs\, games and more! \nMentor Callout! \nThere’s still time to join our incredible team of wild mentors!\nWe’re still welcoming mentors to join the village. Mentors are the big-hearted adults who walk alongside children with curiosity\, playfulness and care. Mentors take village children on muddy adventures\, supporting belonging\, safety and connection throughout the week\, and imprinting on them a love of the natural world to last a lifetime. If this feels like a role you’re called to\, we’d love you to register your interest here! \nFind out more about what Village Camp entails here or by navigating to Firekeepers Village Camp in the menu bar above.
