Chipmunk Clan

OVERVIEW

ReTribe's Coyote Clan welcomes the Chipmunk Clan to our village in the forest!

Come build fairy homes, make magic wands, tell stories and explore the woods, the creek and the magical worlds of our imaginations. The chipmunk clan will join the coyote clan for morning songs as well as stories around the fire at lunch and will play a part in the fantasy adventure world. They will also create a camp of their own in the forest where they can enjoy games, crafts and exploration.

Teddy has worked with youth and teens in a variety of environments for over a decade.  He is currently a mentor at ReTribe‘s Richmond Forest School and co-runs Chipmunk Clan as well as working with ReTribe's teen retreats. He spent six summers as a camp counselor in southern Indiana, taught environmental education at The Ecology School at Ferry Beach on the coast of Maine, and was previously the after-school program director at River Rock School in Montpelier, Vermont. Teddy also apprenticed and volunteered for two years at Earthwalk Vermont in Plainfield, Vermont.  An avid lover of weather, Teddy graduated from Valparaiso University in 2010 with an undergraduate degree in meteorology.  He has spent thousands of miles storm chasing across the great plains, performed NASA-funded atmospheric research in Japan, and also interned with the affordable housing non-profit Community Rebuilds in Moab, Utah, helping build straw bale houses.  Currently, Teddy resides in Montpelier, Vermont, where he spends his time singing to people and plants, writing poetry, wandering the woods, and synergistically bedazzling humans and foods of all ages at the Hunger Mountain Co-op. Overall, Teddy is thrilled to have the opportunity to playfully and wholeheartedly grow with youth, teens, and staff for his second summer at ReTribe!
