At Augusta, we are blessed to be able to call a 200-foot-tall old-growth forest our home. On clear summer nights, the majesty of the Milky Way can be seen in the night sky, sparkling above us. This forest is part of the Sierra Nevada Ecoregion, which is known for its diverse temperate conifer forests, the most diverse in the world. At Augusta, we nurture our campers’ creativity and potential. We strive to foster an atmosphere of empathy and emotional intelligence, utilizing intentional speech, compassionate communication, and other well-researched social practices. Our campers are encouraged to act on their creative ideas and explore their potential. Finally, we are privileged to be surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature. We are in awe of the towering old-growth trees, the star-filled night sky, and the diverse temperate conifer forests that make up the Sierra Nevada Ecoregion. We hope that this natural beauty will inspire and nurture our campers’ creativity.
