THE FOREST PATH

Nature Connection for Kids of all ages

Connect to the wild, to within, with each other

Fall Registration is open.

For the summer camps, if it is smoky AQI level orange or red or AQHI average over 7-10, we will go inside if that is available or otherwise cancel. If it is cancelled, I will refund minus $20 administration fee.

I am keeping the evacuated people and animals and the burning forests in my heart. And still, there are sweet berries. I follow my heart towards connection, not consumption. Breathing in loss, breathing out life. May the circles of life continue.

COYOTE MENTORING

The Forest Path follows an approach called COYOTE MENTORING: not only nature education or outdoor recreation, but mostly deep connection modeling. This is inspired by First Nations’ parenting and how kids were raised during 90% of human history. Read more research on that on the EVOLVED NEST.
