Earth-based Skills Youth Series

  • Hidden Valley Nature Center 131 Egypt Road Jefferson, ME, 04348 United States (map)

Step into the forest and a world before modern technology to gain wilderness survival skills and knowledge!

Track animals through the winter woods, build simple snares, and learn about camouflage. Make a survival shelter worthy of a cold fall night and search for seasonal wild edibles. Focus on fire, from a leave no trace one match teepee to the magic of fire by friction. Learn safe knife handling so you can carve a coal-burned spoon or bowl. Use rope lashing skills to construct a simple stick tripod chair to use by the fire. And walk silently barefoot through the trees observing the natural world in new ways.

Each month will focus on a different earth-based skills topic, building a knowledge of life in the forest throughout the year. 

For 7-13 year olds, 12 kids per outing.

Join us for one class or come each month to immerse yourself in earth-based skills!
