Participate in Project-based and environmental-related lessons that are engaging and fun; all the while weaving in epic survival skills, ancestral living skills, and natural history education!
We will offer a vast education outdoors, immersing students in a learning environment, in ways that traditional models can’t. With a whole-child-led focus, students become invested in their education and foster a lifelong relationship with the land, their mentors and classmates, and the community. Here students are supported to push their own boundaries through safe mentor-led supported risks, thereby teaching them independence, confidence, resilience, and perseverance. Offering more in an outdoor environment allows children to develop a strong sense of self and a natural love of science, creativity, writing, natural history, and more. In this design, children are naturally accessing their whole imaginations, incorporating their whole focus while growing into amazing earth stewards.
Our curriculum is full of opportunity, just like the natural world, and we plan on being flexible and opportunistic just as we would on any trip into the wilderness! We may spend more or less time on a given subject based on the interest or abilities of the students, or on the cooperation of the weather.
We are working with our professional and lay leaders to take a balanced and active approach to our natural learning pod planning while following the Covid-19 Safe County Guidelines
