If you are already familiar with what the field of earth skills education, you know that we are more than a regular nature and wilderness camp for youth, but offer a range of programs for adults and families as well. To us, earth skills education includes knowledge of the naturalist, tracker, herbalist, scout, hunter, primitive artisan, permaculturist and pioneer. Pioneering skills are generally understood, but permaculture is a relatively new field which includes future-looking means of sustainable living. We like to combine our permaculture and pioneering activities, and also add the study of biodynamics which is a method of farming based on the natural rhythms of nature.
