We held two in person programs in Harriman State Park with 1st~4th graders from the Speyer School. We crossed a stream, worked with matches, friction fire and ferro rods, then some people learned about throwing sticks while others did spears, or quickie bows. We hope to work with you all again, soon!

Online Zoom Nature Classes April 29, 2020
During the Corona Virus Pandemic Pause, we have been offering online classes where we keep in touch with our class groups and share our individual nature experiences with each other, play awareness games, and work on hands on projects together. Although it’s not the same as meeting up in the park, it’s been fun and a wonderful way to stay in contact.
St. Croix Island Survival Family Camp 2020 February 29, 2020
St. Croix Island Survival Family Camp 2020 was amazing! We made clay pots, bamboo bows, calabash bowls, and learned about local edible and medicinal plants, and played some fun awareness games. We spent time snorkeling and strolling, around the campfire telling stories and gazing up at the stars. We made fire and did archery. We got to know each other and made connections with community and nature. Thanks to Matt and Carmen of Caribbean Earth Skills and to Zach Fisher, Kristi Knapp, and Arturo Quinones!!
