** “Meet Your Trail Guides”**

Trail Guides – Troy, Tori & Ian
“Hauling logs for campfires, clearing trails for new stories.”

Troy and Tori together with the logs“Trail clearing team — building Bearcamp one log at a time.”Want to clear your own campsite in the forest?
Say the word — we’ll hand you a pair of gloves, point to the trail,
and welcome you into the forest.Some guests come to relax. Others come to dig in.
At Bearcamp, there’s space for both.

Chainsaw action in the cedar forest“Troy carving space beneath the pines. Every trail begins with sweat.”

The Cedar Circle
Hidden deep in Bearcamp’s forest, one old cedar refused to fall.
Struck, bent, maybe by lightning — but instead of breaking, it grew.
Troy gently shaped its fallen body, guiding its branches into a new form.
Now it’s a natural arbor, with plans for a handmade table, chairs, and a simple shelter.Tori and Troy call it their favorite spot.
We think it might become yours too.

🌲 The Forest View – Northwest
This is where the sign stands…
where the trail shifts from clearing to deep woods,
from effort to immersion.We call it the end of the beginning.

Tori’s Song of the Land
Under the Flower Moon

Tori’s first appearance to the forest at the Sacred Cedar Circle Tree

🌿As the forest lives and breathes in silence,
waiting for life to return to the land,
Tori was led by peace.
She grounded her energy, found her place,
sat still — and then sang…Wichita do ya do ya do ya hehTori, a Métis woman deeply attuned to the land,
let the song rise from within — from memory, or perhaps from the moment itself.The drum of her voice echoed through the trees.
Beyond language, through natural spirit —
syllables like water flowing over stone,
each one a step back to the ancestors.Some songs are not remembered — they are remembering us.
They rise from the ground, from cedar roots and moonlight.
They call in what needs to be healed,
what needs to be known without words.That night, the land sang through Tori.Ancestry in Motion
Tori’s grandparents:
A moose dinner,
more gifts left quietly at the door.Simple offerings, yet sacred —
passed from hands that have known the land
since the beginning of time.Their ancestors walk closely behind them,
along trails of peace,
days of honor,
a heritage still alive.Their quiet strength,
their eyes that see into forever,
a presence rooted in something far older than words.This is the essence of resilience:
A spirit that remembers loss —
not forgotten —
but still gives.
Still walks with the land.
Still teaches love.That’s what Tori carries forward in her song.
From her grandparents,
and their grandparents before, her legacy.An open fire under the Flower Moon.
Ancestry in motion.Honoring the Water
The song Tori sang is a sacred Water Song, often shared in Indigenous women's ceremonies to honor and protect water — the source of all life. These vocables carry gratitude and reverence, connecting the singer to the earth, sky, and waters without the need for translation. They serve as a prayer in motion, urging balance between movement and stillness, and reminding us of our responsibility to safeguard the waters that sustain us all.🎶 Water Song LyricsWichita do ya do ya do ya
Wichita do ya do ya heh
Wichita do ya do ya do ya
Wichita do ya do ya heh

Moon of May: The Fire Rose
Tori

It began as stillness.
A low flame in the circle — waiting, listening, holding presence.Then the flame rose —
high, alive, speaking.It was ceremony meeting acknowledgment.
A sacred moment, recognized by the Land, the Spirits, the Ancestors.This was the Flower Moon, the full moon of May —
a time of blooming, of feminine power,
of Métis women carrying the strength of both bloodlines.
The Moon, like the grandmother spirits, watched over the sacred fire.In Indigenous knowing, a sacred fire is not just warmth —
it is a being.
A bridge between this world and the spirit world.
It opens us to what is unseen but deeply known.That night, the fire responded as presence.It rose to honor.
It rose to welcome.
It rose to say:
We see you.And Tori sang —
with a voice that reached high through the trees,
into the fire, and beyond:
“Hay ya, hay yaa… aaa yaa…”It was the language of the ancestors.
A call.
A prayer.
A remembering.In that moment, all was aligned —
The Moon.
The Woman.
The Land.
The Fire.
The Witness.
And Laska,
who led the way
to Tori,
sitting in quiet power beneath the trees —
in the sacred ceremony of her Ancestors,
at the Cedar Circle Tree, now made sacred
by the fire that rose.

Moon of May: The Fire RoseOn a quiet night at Bearcamp, under the Flower Moon, the fire spoke.
What began as a low flame rose suddenly, as if called by the land itself —
as Tori, still in ceremony, smiled and returned to silence.Video now playing, video published below.
Until then, may the flame in your heart rise with purpose.
