Teen Nature Day
Nature Connection and Skills Day for Ages 13-17
There was a time when nature knowledge, time outdoors and basic wilderness skills were a given for most children. Now they are not. Many kids grow up not knowing how to identify common plants and animals, not knowing how to carve, make a fire or sleep outdoors. What's even more concerning is how little outdoor time in general many have.
At Vilda we help youth create a lasting and confident connection to nature. A connection that is based on fun, knowledge and belonging. Our programs focus on meaningful relationship to natural place, others and self. Youth develop a sense of being an important part of their environment and a desire and comfort to spend more time outdoors together.
We develop practical earth skills and naturalist knowledge through our core curriculum, badge system and individualistic guidance of experienced adult instructors.
This program is a great complement to a week spent with academics and a great addition to homeschool curriculum. It has been used by some families to fulfill a part of physical education and natural science requirements.

With our very varied economical situations in the Bay Area, families have differing abilities to pay. We want our programs to serve as many children as possible regardless of financial situation.

Rate B - covers our basic costs for running this particular program, but it does not cover our organizational costs.
Rate C - does not cover the cost of program and is subsidized by Rate A and donations.
