Wild Earth’s transformative nature immersion experiences cultivate character, confidence, passion and perseverance in today’s youth.

At Wild Earth, children & adults head into the woods and off the trails where they’re meeting plants and animals, learning wilderness skills, creating natural crafts, and building deep connections with friends and inspiring mentors.

Our programs are designed to remember and return to our natural human blueprint to form strong connections to self, each other and the Earth. At a time when our planet requires diligent and proactive care, Wild Earth’s programs foster gratitude, respect, and a renewed commitment to taking care of the Earth.

Registration has been filling up quickly for our 2020-2021 year-round youth programs. If you do encounter a waiting list, please sign up and we will contact you directly to enroll if a space opens up in the program or if another program becomes available!

🎆 2021 Camp Registration Launches February 1st AT NOON!

This summer, we are excited to hold the following camps: Kestrel, Raven, Kingfisher, and Ropes. To provide the safest programming possible, we have made the following decisions: Wild Earth will not run the typical two-week Screech Owl sessions, but we are hoping to meet 4-7 year olds in other ways. Raven and Ropes: Teen camps will be offered as two-week camps again this year. We will have two sessions of each camp. Registration opens Monday, February 1 at noon.
