What people are saying:

Headwaters is a community in which service, integrity, and the value of hard work are taught by example in the everyday life of the camp. Headwaters is first and foremost a school of outdoor survival and primitive skills, but it is also a school of life. Over the years that Headwaters has been a part of my life, I have learned as much about how to live a fulfilling life that contributes to my community as I have about living off the land.I am profoundly grateful to Headwaters for helping me to become the person I am today.
