At EarthWorks Institute, we believe that the best way to get students engaged in learning is to take a hands-on approach. Our programs are taught through time-honored mentoring experiences to create a very special kind of outdoor learning experience.

A unique survival skills program, Trackers (formerly Running Wild Forest School) is designed to teach ancient knowledge and understanding of the natural world combined with unique instruction on the time-honored techniques of wilderness living.

–     Shelter & fire building
–     Identification of flora and fauna
–     Plants for food & medicine
–     Purification of water
–     Natural navigation
–     Wildcrafting & responsible tool use

 

EarthWorks Institute staff encourage students to practice:

 

–     Wonders of the environment
–     Natural processes through immersion
–     Full sensory experience with nature
–     Working with peers
–     Practicing wilderness skills

 

Our curriculum combines unique outdoor games with challenges that give children the confidence to discover the outdoors in a safe and meaningful way.

 

Our goal is to activate each child’s curiosity and love for learning while fostering personal growth, social responsibility, and bonds that last a lifetime.
