Subject: Barefoot friendly summer camps for kids

Here is a barefoot friendly summer camp for boys in Vermont/USA (I wonder whether there's the equivalent for girls?)

https://www.nighteaglewilderness.com/

"Although most camps require their campers to wear shoes during the summer, Night Eagle campers choose to “lose their shoes” while they are at camp and try to get closer to the earth by going barefoot. Campers feel that going barefoot gives them a deeper, more respectful relationship with Nature and, from an environmental point of view, lessens the impact they have on the earth itself by hardly disturbing even the most delicate ground cover. When feet are bare, they are also silent, almost whispering to the ground even when running, which seems much more in keeping with the forest around Night Eagle than the sound of shoes."

Here is one for all kids in Austria, offering quality time in nature "offline, without electric power, clocks or mirrors", describing itself as "a place for barefoot walkers, rangers and fire makers".

Have you come across any others or even have first hand experience?
