- 12 program days total -

Step off the beaten path and into your wild wisdom! Each week, young explorers in our homeschool programs journey deep into the forest for hands-on adventures that awaken curiosity, resilience, and wonder.

Each week, students embark on a journey through the forest, deeply immersed in activities like

🐦 Tracking animals and interpreting bird language

🌿 Harvesting wild plants for food and medicine

🪔 Crafting with natural materials like clay, wood, and bamboo

🔥 Learning wilderness survival skills and traditional skills

⚔️ Sneaking, boffing, and role playing games

👐🏾 Sharing songs, storytelling, and community-building activities

Using our years of experience in Coyote Mentoring to guide them, children don't just learn about nature, they find their belonging in it. Let the forest be the classroom, let the wild be the teacher!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In our Heartwood (Wednesdays) and Forest Fridays (Fridays) groups kids will be sorted by us into groups based on their individual experience, maturity, skill, and readiness. This is different from our other programs, which are grouped based solely on age. Some kids may not like this, especially if they are not grouped with a specific friend or favorite instructor, but we see this as a wonderful opportunity for them to work on their specific goals to advance. We thank you for trusting us to place them in the best group for their level and ask that you speak with your children about this in advance.
