There is a world outside of bells and desks, where frogs slip through muddy hands, deer are named, naps happen in tall grass and kingdoms are built in the trees. We don't teach children about nature, we make the natural world an everyday reality in our lives. Reclaiming adventure from TV and video games we enter our senses and a time outside of clocks. Through continuous conversation we take care to develop a diverse range of experience in many areas, including wild edible plants, river boating, animal tracking, awareness of ecology, wilderness living skills, outdoor savvy, martial arts, theater improv and more.

We may not be for you, you may not be for us: We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: ecstatic, autonomous, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess. WE LIMIT group size to 8 children per age group, making a more well rounded personal experience for everyone involved.
