EARTH SKILLS CLUB
A NATURE CLUB FOR AGES 9-12 & 13-15
Earth Skills Club is an all outdoor adventure and skills time for teens and tweens. We come together each week to build our wilderness skills, practice nature awareness and connect with each other and the land. This is a great time to build the essentials, confidence and camaraderie we will need to undertake bigger adventures and trips in the future.
From fire making and knife use to archery and basketry, we'll spend some of each day working with our hands on ancestral arts/primitive skills. We'll balance focused time with some awareness games and story to refine our naturalist knowledge.
In addition to our core curriculum this program may include:
Archery
Knife skills
Firemaking
Leadership Skills
Wilderness Survival
Naturalist Studies
Our school year programs are continuous programs that run from September through June. We encourage students to stay for the whole year. However we know this age group can have a busy schedule so we also offer a 10 pack that allows you to choose which weeks you want to attend freely.
