Celebrating the end of another school year

Published June 18th, 2015
By David Brownstein, Executive Director

Wild Earth has just concluded our 11th school year of nature connection programming.

Before we take one big breath and jump into summer camp, we want to celebrate some of our accomplishments from the past school year:

– More than 500 children, ages 3-19, were in the woods this school year with Wild Earth!

– Wild Earth launched an after-school program for JFK Elementary, a public school in Kingston, NY.

– 19 local teens ventured into the wilderness for a 24-hour solo & Rite of Passage.

– Students from Newburgh’s Boys & Girls Club came to Wild Earth to make fires, throw tomahawks and build shelters on Scenic Hudson’s Snake Hill land.

Special thanks to Tyler McNamara who will be stepping out of his role of Programs Director at Wild Earth after this year’s Summer Camp. This fall, Tyler will be leading some programs for Wild Earth and focusing more on his upcoming novel.

We wish to extend a big blanket of gratitude to Wild Earth’s instructing & administrative staff, our volunteer Board of Directors, and all of you who continue to partner with Wild Earth to make our work possible.
