Wild Outside is a weekly nature education course that runs during the school year for ages 5-16. Program days that are offered are Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

​

During Wild Outside, students and instructors work closely in a variety of settings to develop skills that will lead to a deeper knowledge of the natural world and authentic connections to nature, awaken sensory awareness and cultivate knowledge of place, as well as build self confidence and peaceful interpersonal relationships.

At Earth Native, our unique teaching methods center around the 8 Shields Mentoring Model, a method of teaching and learning that is based on inspiration, natural learning cycles, and education models used by ancestral human communities across the world for thousands of years. Our “invisible school” teaching approach uses your child’s passions and natural inspirations as the spark that drives their education in the outdoors.

Each week at Wild Outside, children will explore, hear inspiring stories, practice primitive and wilderness survival skills, play games and practice core routines to develop strong skills and knowledge in areas such as:

• Edible and Medicinal Plants

• Wildlife Tracking

• Bird Language

• Ecology

• Wilderness Survival

• Natural Navigation

• Primitive Arts and Crafts

• Knife Carving & Safety

• ....and much more!
