  • Risk assessment and safety awareness

  • Survival techniques and bushcraft

  • Effective problem-solving and critical thinking

  • A basic understanding of biology and natural systems

  • Life-long friendships, self-assurance, and emotional awareness

These skills naturally weave into their everyday lives, helping them become more capable, curious, and confident.

Skill-Based Learning Includes:

  • Tool use (with age-appropriate guidance and supervision)

  • Shelter building and fire safety

  • Bushcraft and nature-based crafts

  • Literacy through storytelling and nature journaling

  • Artistic expression using natural materials

  • Navigation, tracking, and other hands-on wilderness skills

Program Highlights

  • Child-led exploration with learning introduced naturally through play and curiosity

  • Nature games, storytelling, projects, and daily challenges that reflect the day’s theme

  • Small group adventures with a high adult-to-child ratio (1:7)

  • Supportive mentoring to encourage self-sufficiency and deeper learning

  • Focus on emotional intelligence, compassion, and gratitude

  • Visits from expert guests who inspire, teach, and guide children in outdoor knowledge and skills

We’re excited to welcome knowledgeable and passionate guests into our program—each one offering unique insights that help enrich your child’s learning journey.
