Wednesday Wolves
Service and Resilience.
The Wolves program is for experienced outdoor schoolers aged 10-14. It is a continuation & consolidation of skills engaged in previous years. Wolves fosters a balance between self-sufficiency & co-operative work by showing how individual gifts inevitably enrich community. The program engages the “hard skills” of fire-tending, shelter building, tracking, and tool use - balanced with the “soft skills” of listening and speaking with care, increasing awareness, and developing an stewardship.
Wednesdays, 9am to 4pm
