Program description

A typical day features exploring, group games, story-telling and a skills challenge.  

As a mentor, I leverage students' interests and abilities, and debrief activities. 

I believe your child has amazing potential to make the world a better place.  But to reach one's potential is an epic struggle, a hero's journey fraught with pitfalls, external and internal.

In this program nature is our dojo - a place to encounter the self, the other and the world, and to gather wisdom for life's journey.

Experience the excitement of Spring! 

Spring is nature's fastest-paced season.  

Birds arriving, singing and battling for territories.  

Peak wild edible greens season.  

Frogs and salamanders, snakes and turtles are on the move.

There's no better time to be out in the woods! ​

A quality sheath knife

$15.00

For this program, your child will need a good sheath knife.  Based on long experience, we recommend a brightly-colored, stainless steel Mora-bladed knife for exceptional quality and affordability.  Nothing in the price range available at area retailers compares.

You can pay for one now below or bring cash -- they will be available at the program.  Or use the Amazon link to have one shipped to you directly.  

​There are also other Mora knives available online that can work well too -- this one just looks like the best value of we found.
