Young Eagles

This program is our gateway program to introduce youth to Nature in a way that allows mystery and the child's own internal passions to speak through the activities we engage in. This program highlights our connection to nature, how we fit into ecology of our own unique landscape, and begins the learning of what it is to be a Peacemaker. We will engage in personal awareness and knowledge of place activities that will build youth's confidence, self esteem, and naturalist knowledge. This will be done through well facilitated nature experiences that include curriculum based on our highly successful coyote mentoring.

Peacemaker's Journey

Our second stage program is for kids who are asking the question of how and why. We will go deeper into the core routines and begin to embody the traits of the Peacemaker. Youth in this program have a real desire to learn the teachings and the ability to focus on one skill for the afternoon. Various programs could be offered within this stage which allow for the individuals to pick and choose according to their interests.

Northwind Leadership

For our community leaders and extremely focused young people we are offering specific programs within this third stage. Each session will be a specific number of outings covering the many layers of one skill. Our intention is for participants of these programs to have an in depth understanding of the topic or activity once the program is finished.
