Wilderness Explorers
Survival skills start here.
Ready for anything. From knot-tying to shelter-building, kids develop essential survival techniques that spark independence, encourage resilience, and build confidence through creative, hands-on challenges.
Reading the wild. Explorers learn to recognize bird calls, find and follow tracks, and read the clouds to predict weather patterns—developing curiosity, attentiveness, and a stronger connection to the natural world around them.
Finding your way. With maps, compasses, and even homemade sundials, students build navigation skills while learning how to prepare and adapt—tools that foster self-reliance, empowerment and critical thinking.
Scouting skills for all.
Either within a classroom setting or, weather permitting, out-and-about in the schoolyard and play-spaces, we tailor our scouting lessons to the particular age levels of our intrepid explorers.
Curriculum notes.
