Remember playing in the yard as a kid? For as
long as humans have roamed the earth we have
always been connected with the natural world
around us. It has shaped who we are, and is
fundamental to our well being. Generations have
passed since many of us have experienced,
deeply, our roots in nature.
“Whenever
we're out on a
walk, our son
still shares
things he
learned
from last
year’s
program!”

Through explorations in bushcraft, naturalist skills, nature hikes and cooperative awareness
games—children work together in small groups gaining knowledge of plants, mammals,
tracking, birds and survival, as well as increasing their overall nature awareness.
Whole Earth Nature School mentors kids in forming a deep connection with nature. Each nine-week
after-school nature camp program is a unique experience. We custom tailor every session depending
on what the children uncover in nature, as well as what individual interests they bring to the group.
And of course, every season brings different animals, plant cycles, weather patterns and lessons.
Enroll your child in each season of Coyote Kids! nature camps and they will experience entirely new
journeys while deepening skills learned in seasons prior. Sound like fun?

do you know what they’re saying? You will!)
Tracking (Start seeing into the past and
learn what animals have been visiting your
school when you’re not there!)
Wild Edibles (You won’t believe what
grows at your school that you can eat!
And we’ll help you identify those things
that’ll make you sick as well!)
Shelter (Could you really stay warm and
dry during a winter storm in a shelter that
you built? Find out!)
Through fun games you’ll learn how to expand
your awareness skills and really tune in to the
world around you in ways you’ve never
experienced before. Oh the stories you’ll tell!
