Sunsport's 14th Annual Naturist Family Youth Camp will be July 10-18.

Spaces for campers are still available.

Children aged 4-17 and their families will experience a fun week of growth and community emphasizing interpersonal relations skills, learning, and creativity in a natural environment.

As usual we will have a fun-filled day playing in the sand and surf at a clothing-optional ocean beach, a camp variety show, crafts, nature exploration, canuding and kayaking, non-competitive sports, producing a claymation video, campfires, and lots of pool time, with individual attention for each camper.

There will be special activities best done clothesfree such as a slip-n-slide with paint, tie dye, water balloon throwing, gooey games, and a 10 foot ice cream sundae with as much landing on bodies as in mouths. Workshops on being proud of who we are, body acceptance, communication skills, and conflict resolution will help establish an atmosphere of caring about each other's feelings and positive relationships.

Parents are encouraged to attend the camp participating as much or as little as they like. Most of the favorite counselors will be returning.

A gallery of camp photos, articles, and claymation videos from past years are on Sunsport's website.

Enrollment forms are also on Sunsport's website. If your child is attending, please email me at [email protected].

Permaculture Sunsport News

Mulch:

The Food of the Forest

You might have wondered what those large pile are at the entrance to the cart trail.
IMG_2328
This is ground trees from landscapers that we get delivered instead of having it go to landfills.
Besides helping conserve moisture it feeds the soil life so important to the well being of the plants growing.
Gardening can be difficult in Florida because of the nutrient poor easily leached sand that comprises our "soil".
IMG_2332
Over time the constant mulching will create a diverse community of bacteria, fungus and insects so important to a thriving Forest eco-system.
IMG_2329
Mulch doesn't always need to be ground wood. Here we see invasive water hyacinths harvested from Aloso Pond being used and recycled as mulch for some giant Saba bananas.
Please make a small donation to help us continue to create.
Hey What is Permaculture?

Geoff Farmer:
Permaculture is a philosophy of design for creating a sustainable human culture. That is, it's a way of thinking about how we set up the support systems around us: shelter, food, water, energy, society and business. Well designed permaculture systems allow us to live as a beneficial part of the ecosystems around us.
