Let’s get out and explore together!
Naturalist, survival, and ancestral skills learning can take you down a variety of different paths in life. In this unique program, one Saturday a month, our teens will be able to go out into the field and deep dive into specific topics covered in our Quiet Heart programs. These outings will be led by an expert in the field, and will also be mentored by a consistent Quiet Heart staff person, so that students are able to gain in depth knowledge while creating community.
Because we understsand that teens have lots of demands on their time, students can register for individual days or for the whole season of outings (at a discounted price). Tuition is $75 for each outing ($150 for the overnight)
