Got questions? We have answers!
As students pile out of the cars mothers get their strollers and carriers ready for their littles. Students meander to the gathering place they have established where the instructor has a game prepared for them. After the kids are panting and reflecting on the highlights of the game they transition into their sit spots to take some time alone in nature. From there the instructor will guide them on a wander, or facilitate a learning experience, or maybe sit around the fire and work on a skill. As interests and energy shift the instructor may suggest another game or check in with food and water and bathroom breaks. Once class is over happy, dirty, and very tired kids climb back into their cars shouting goodbye to one another.
Our goal is to customize the content to the student, not standardize the student to the test.
Instructors do three things: they teach, facilitate, and mentor from a place of mastery.
Teaching-Presenting information from point A to point B.
Facilitating- Create and manage an experience that does the teaching.
Mentoring-Holding possibility for students
Master-A person who has practiced their skill/craft to such a degree, the philosophy of that skill is present in their day to day life.
Learning is about asking the right questions; and there are always more questions to be asked.
Our curriculum is designed to be customized to the student. That being said there are consistencies through all of our programs.
The Three Core Pillars will be present in each class (sit spot, survival skills, wandering).
Hazards awareness is covered and revisited in every class.
Basic outdoor etiquette is the foundation for any outdoor experience.
Leaving no trace isn't good enough, we always leave a space better than when we found it.
