This is a place built on tradition

Tradition plays a large part in shaping the focus of the Green River Preserve and helps to keep us grounded in the belief that we can learn and grow as campers and as people without harming the land.

Woodcraft Laws

Beauty

Be clean, both yourself and the place you live in. Understand and respect your body for it is the temple of the spirit. Be a friend of all wildlife. Conserve land, forest and rivers.

Fortitude

Be brave. Courage is the noblest of all attainments. Be silent while your elders are speaking or otherwise show them deference. Obey. Obedience is the first duty of the woodcrafter.

Truth

Word of honor is sacred. Play fair. Foul play is treachery. Be reverent. Worship the Great Spirit and respect all worship of him by others.

Love

Be kind, do at least one act of unbargaining service each day. Be helpful, do your share of the work. Be joyful, seek the joy of being alive.
