Need Financial Aid? Click here.

Our financial aid philosophy is take what you need and give what you can. We recognize that there are economic hardships, and we want to be accessible to all, so we ask that you pay whatever it is that you can.

The more you can pay, the more children we are able to extend aid to. Before you request financial aid we ask families to consider if there are family members or friends who might help provide a scholarship to your family for this program.

While nobody has ever been turned away for lack of funds, our ability to accommodate financial aid requests rests on the strength of our program enrollment and the generosity of the individuals, businesses and foundations that partner with Wild Earth to make financial aid possible.

We're in this together! Many of us are stretching ourselves to make sure that cost doesn't get in the way of anyone playing, exploring and learning in nature.

How to ask for aid–

Advancing our Skills – Weekend Immersion (Overnight)

Join Neill Bovaird and fellow nature connection staff for a weekend on Wild Earth’s new home at Rock Haven!

We will build and develop skilled relationships with the land and one another.

This shared experience will give us greater surface area to teach, learn, and facilitate connective experiences in our work.

We will be diving in, with plenty of space to get some dirt time, sink into timelessness in a village setting, and develop our ability to craft a wander experience by learning to see what the land has to teach.

There will be plenty of space for group sharing as well as solo time.

Come learn new skills to contribute to your existing bundles.

We will cover basic to advanced skills.

Skills include:

  • Fire-making
  • Naturalist Studies
  • Fibers
  • Knife work
  • Stone tools
  • Wood-working
  • Outdoor cooking
  • Traps
  • And more..
