Outdoor Academics

After-school Programs

Afterschool should be the time for students to take what they’ve learned in school and apply it through play and exploration. We will go in depth, exploring wilderness survival and primitive skills and awareness. Our afterschool programs run on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, spanning the entire school year. The repeated exposure and directed play outdoors will help your child gain a deeper understanding of themselves and nature, and to learn the necessary skills to slow down, disconnect from video games and television, and build confidence. Complete details can be found on out WilderSkills Outdoor Apprentice Program Page.

Outdoor Training for Educators

We offer adult training courses specifically directed to educators – to help you gain the basic skills you need to encourage your students to connect with nature.

Wild Adventures

When creativity fueled know-how turns sticks and rocks into the functional basis for building anything, adventure chases boredom outside in a hurry! New awareness helps to completely transform sterile outdoor experiences into regular and meaningful family adventures. Our challenging courses push students to build confidence, trust, and to combat fear while experiencing the exciting wild unknown.

Deep Connection

Balance out modern tech-life overload with nature-based activities that positively impact mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Consistent, meaningful connection with wild outdoor spaces will not only spark creativity and imagination, it reduces symptoms of depression, ADHD, bullying, and obesity, and increases levels of self-confidence, cooperation, reasoning and observation skills, and overall fitness.
