Join Ms Raz on a swashbuckling adventure through Big Oak Canyon! Young adventurers will set out on a land-based treasure hunt, learning foundational outdoor skills like mapping, using a sun clock, and observing the weather as they navigate the landscape.
Along the way, campers will follow a treasure map to uncover hidden pieces needed to create their own pirate-inspired backpack charm using natural materials. As we search for clues, we’ll observe the plants, animals, and patterns of the land, building awareness and connection to the natural world.
We will close our time together by working as a team to create a simple shelter, a “pirate hideout” made from items from the land. A fun-filled day of exploration, creativity, and imaginative play in nature!

Raz Allen
Throughout her life, Raz has been a girl scout, Marine and an advocate/fundraiser for outdoor/natural causes. She is a Reiki Master/Teacher/Intuitive, Certified Massage Therapist, and avid tree hugger! Some call her MacGyver, because she will always find a way to make things work!
Raz lived in California, for the first time, as a young person, where she found out how wonderful the outdoors could be. Her family frequently visited many natural places, including Sequoia every six months, local beaches and road trips into the once vast open space of Orange County. She always loved to learn on nature walks, play outside and especially climb trees/ walls of her Tustin neighborhood.
