Description:

Currently enrolling ages 8-13. Deepen sense of wonder through games, stories, crafts and hands-on exploration of field, forest, and stream ecology. We’ll co-create and learn by investigating curiosity, exploring the water, land, and learning about the beings that live there. Naturalist skills, crafting, laughter, and unknown adventures will make these exciting weeks for all ages.

Each session shares related activities and daily flow. We play games upon arrival, then transition to morning circle to hear about the day’s projects, sing songs, and share naturalist knowledge about our surroundings. Activities include archery, wood craft, fire tending, shelter building, swimming in the the pond, and plenty of time to explore trails and our surroundings.

Attending multiple weeks? Participants have the opportunity to select a skills based competency badge to work on or complete one they began during the Wild Discovery Semester Program.
