Into the Wild February 26, 2011

How did kids learn about nature 1,000 years ago, when understanding the natural world was essential to staying alive? How can YOU, as an adult, develop the same keen awareness of nature that an Ohlone Indian child of ten would already have mastered? Classes use both ancient methods of developing sensory awareness, and modern methods of factual investigation to build skills which lead to a deep and lifelong sense of connection to nature. Perfect for kids who loved their field trip to Hidden Villa and are eager to explore the next step. Location: Meet at Kiosk Session 2: Survival! What better time than the 'depths of winter' to learn the basics of living among the elements? Learn to build a fire under any circumstances, with or without matches; how to rig an effective shelter, and much more! Bring a backpack. Online registration available.
