$1,200.00

Instructors: Ramzy Berbawy and Thuja Noba

With our talented Nature Studies mentors, your child will engage in weekly explorations of our local ecosystems, wilderness skills, and nature awareness. Our small group size of 12 students allows individualized mentoring, cohesive group dynamics, and safe socializing for your child.

Focus skills will include Wilderness Survival (fire making, shelter building, water harvest, orientation), Natural Living (cooking, wildcrafting, advanced wild edibles and medicinals), Naturalist Skills (wildlife tracking, bird language, natural history, ecosystems) and the Way of the Scout (stealth, movement, senses, humble protector). Students will have the opportunity to explore and learn across all areas of focus throughout the year. To allow for optimal depth of focus and growth, participants will be encouraged to hone in on a few areas of greatest interest as the year progresses.
