Wild Earth Wanderers

Sun, Jul 13, 2025 - Sat, Jul 26, 2025  (14 days)
  Ages: 13 - 15

A two-week immersion program in Earth living skills and nature connection.

Come enjoy two weeks out in the woods, where together we will deepen the experience and skills that our ancestors knew. We will build shelters and tend the flames of fires kindled in the old ways with friction, creating a village home out in and of the forest. Gifts of woods and waters nourish us as we forage, fish and gather what the land has to offer. We will gather and process berries, mushrooms, acorns, and animals for food. We will carve, weave and create some of the tools we need to live well. The animals around us will be our teachers too, in their tracks and movements. Using traditional methods we will tan hides: scraping, softening, and working to change an animal skin into a soft, supple material to stitch something useful and beautiful. Through it all we will live with the question, how can we can give back to the land that offers us so much? By listening, observing and being still in the landscape, as well as by playing games, crafting and singing, we will deepen our connection to the land around us, each other, and ourselves.

This program builds on the experience in Earth Crafts and Forest, Forage and Flame, and is a deeper, more immersive experience exploration earth living skills. Students who have prior experience in these skills (carving, fire-making, foraging etc,) will get the most out of this more in-depth two-week experience. This expedition program includes some wilderness travel but also involves staying in one place more than many expeditions in order to make a life in and from the natural world!
