Description:
Nimble, clever, quick, fun-loving. Foxes is a celebration of child passions: climbing, running, sneaking, listening, hiding. This program is also a step into the world of competence and self-sufficiency: building skills in fire tending, shelter building and tool use. Tracking adventures satisfy the inquisitive and creative mind at this age, providing ample opportunity for inference, story telling, deduction, pattern recognition. Foxes delivers invisible learning and healthy growth, with the volume turned up on fun. A welcoming atmosphere, days of exploring, practicing skills, and games that teach. Foxes operates on long-term mentoring relationships, where professional facilitators work together to identify areas for growth and development: for individuals and the group. Our model seeks to support young people in becoming resilient, capable, and service minded. Our daily endeavors promote attributes such as: Quiet Mind, Common Sense, Aliveness and Agility, Inquisitive Focus, Caring and Tending, Service to Community, Awe and Reverence, and Self-Sufficiency. We foster these attributes through a set of core routines and nature based challenges. The learning experience is dynamic, emergent, multi-sensory, and exciting. Spring Foxes is a time to behold the break up of the ice, to track the increasing animal activity, and celebrate the new growth of plants. It is a chance to integrate the skills and knowledge from fall and winter, finish projects, and celebrate the year.What you can can expect
