Eagle Nature Explorers
Due to limitations imposed by the current pandemic, Eagles will be blended with Coyotes so siblings can remain in the same class groups, reducing exposure to COVID for everyone. Below is a description of our "normal times" Eagles, which we look forward to continuing in the future. For now, we ask that interested families please refer to the Coyotes page or to Eagles Online.
Eagle Nature Explorers gather to experience community in camp life through the seasons. Each day includes storytelling, nature crafts, learning about safety in wild spaces, study of local plants and animals, outdoors skills, games and activities to stretch sensory awareness, and a meal together around the campfire.
Eagles learn skills such as aideless navigation, atl atl, bird language, bow drill, burned wood bowls, campfire cooking, cordage, digging stick, edible and medicinal plants, campfire maintenance, hide work, land stewardship, animal tracking, pottery, shelter building, wood carving, and others.
Our classroom is the forest, fields, ponds and streams - all sessions take place out of doors. Our instructors are versed in a variety of ancient and modern camp skills and experienced working with a broad age group. Class is structured to meet the interests of different ages and personalities.
Details
This class is for youth ages 10-14. Class meets at Nature and Nurture Farm in Dexter, MI, and sometimes at Sunward Cohousing Community on Mondays or Wednesdays from 10 am until 2 pm. Students bring their own lunch and snack. Special snacks, such as acorn pancakes, burdock rice, or maple syrup will be provided at many classes.
