Starting Spring at the end of the Camas Track



“I am going to write something on your hand,” my friend said to me. I watched as she slowly drew letters into the top of my palm with a blue pen. Curious, I peered at my hand to see the message:

“Stay Lamb”

Camas Tuath is all about staying lamb because, as we told the 18 youth who lived with us here a couple weeks ago, it is not true that curiosity killed the cat.


This summer I will work at “staying lamb” and  growing lamb like curiosity and joy into everything I do 1.5 miles from the nearest road and 10 meters from the ocean as I volunteer at Camas. Yesterday, I saw a lamb being born at the top of the Camas track! Within 5 minutes of coming down the birth canal it was bouncing around gleefully as I bounced my way back to Camas with my wheelbarrow full of field potatoes. 


I will be occasionally posting some things here but if you want to get a sense of Camas life, check out our Camas blog! I wrote the first post, "Fire with Flint and Steel", but it will likely be updated by all the staff at Camas as the summer progresses.
Here is the FB group for those of you on facebook...
