4E's Youth Programs introduce Earth Skills, a blend of the ancient arts of tracking, wilderness survival, and nature awareness. Through our programs, a re-thinking of our connection to nature begins to occur. Nature is not simply a resource that we control as a product, but a relationship we must cultivate. Through hands-on skills, games, songs and storytelling, we create an "invisible school", where kids learn directly from the Earth while having tons of fun, laughing and playing with each other. NEW for WINTER 2023: Monday afternoon Fox Walkers & Young Fox Walkers will run alongside our Adult course. (Click here for more info.) We will gather for an opening circle with the whole group before programs are separated by age; programs close with an ending circle for all participants. This will provide a space and time for kids in school to join, as well as for Parents and other Adults, that also has a “Village” feel to it. We meet at the Burton Educational Preserve in Nevada City. Click here for a map.
