WEEKLY PROGRAMS

Weekly Nature School

Ages 5-12

​

Earth Native Nature School is a weekly nature education course for homeschooled children or children in alternative education programs.

Participants work closely with program instructors to increase their connection to and knowledge of the land around them. At Earth Native our unique teaching methods center around “Coyote Mentoring” a method of teaching and learning that is based on education models used by indigenous populations across the globe for thousands of years. Our “invisible school” teaching philosophies are based on natural learning cycles that use your child’s passions and natural inspirations as the spark that drives their education in the outdoors.

​

At Earth Native our youth programming curriculum will teach your children an incredible amount about natural science and nature through the exploration of the plants, animals, and natural processes that are going on all around us. Children will work diligently with their instructor in small groups to gain nature awareness and knowledge of plants, mammals, tracking, birds, ecology and a lot more!
