Family Urban Kid Adventures: Wilderness School
Little Naturalist Program with Thom Schuchaskie of Urban Kid Adventurers Saturday, 9/11 from 10-11AM
Ages 5-8
Thom Schuchaskie joins us for a child-friendly, all-immersive program to introduce your child(ren) to the wonders of nature. Focused on connectivity with the earth and the environment, Thom will guide the group throughout the gardens and open fields demonstrating connectivity and presence. Examples include tossing a pebble into a pond and discovering concentric circles, as well as comparing change of thought to a walk in the woods. Thom will also introduce primitive living skills such as bow drill and other friction fires, as well as miniature "shelters," wild edibles, and the other "gifts" of mother earth.
The Sacred Order of Survival
Saturday, 9/11 from 1-4PM & Sunday, 9/12 from 9AM-12PM
Ages 9+
Thom takes many of same learning principles from ‘Little Earthlings,’ and adapts them for an older child audience. The emphasis here are the four key survival skills to live in both the wilderness and the city. With open discussions and hands-on-activities, your child(ren) will discover focus, as well as connectivity with their surroundings.
