Why we may not be for you, why you may not be for us...
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.

Bunny Bunker Natural Building Workshop for a Mini-Cob HouseDown at the Scout Pit they're building a bunny bunker! All the kids will be there, learning about rabbits, about building a little cob house from earth and straw and playing with Charlemagne. We'll have snacks and dance with our families like a good old fashioned barn raising. Slapping cob over the wire structure, packing it in with our fingers and toes, we'll create a lovely rabbit home. When the sculpting is done and hardened, we'll add a final decorative layer of earthen plaster, and bid our little bunny Charlemagne, good night. Who Ages 6-10 |
