Program Description:

This is a week-long adventure in learning about nature and the art of survival. You’ll experience the wonder of making fire without matches, creating a shelter that’s warm and safe, moving through the woods and silently approaching an animal. This is an amazing experience in which you’ll connect with nature in a new and powerful way. All skills are taught entirely through hands on and experiential learning techniques. This transformative experience is something treasured by the whole family.

Ages and Prerequisites: Families with children age 4-17, and youth and teens age 10-17

This program is designed for families to attend together and is open for youth, age 10-12, to attend without an adult. Children are divided into age group learning teams and some activities are done with the entire group. In addition to having their own adventures, adults engage in a week long workshop in the basics of “Coyote Teaching”-the methods behind what is being taught.

Students under 7 will be part of the “Coyote Pup’s” group. At this age, special care and appropriate teaching style are important. Parents will be on “call” if their child needs attention.

Teen Scout

Are you ready to dive into the world of the Scout? This advanced week-long course for teens focuses on the lives of the Apache Scouts. Here, we begin to understand what it means to become the eyes and ears of the people as Grandfather and his people taught. This encompasses learning more advanced shelter and fire techniques, animal forms, martial arts study, movicol kaufen, tracking, invisibility, physical and spiritual workouts, group dynamics, and most importantly, awareness.
