Classes
Weekend Workshop:
Art of survival
Saturday - Monday, September 5-7
10 am - 3:30 pm
Ages: 8+
Cost: $270 / participant
Location: Vulpes Outdoor Classroom, Bloomfield, NJ
The relationship between nature and art is a unique and deeply human experience. As an artist and craftsman, I find endless inspiration in nature and in earth skills. This class combines artistry and survival skills in a way that is fun, inspiring and founded in thousands of years development and practice. Students will learn to find materials, use tools, make baskets, make paints and pens, solve challenges, wildcraft medicine and hone survival skills like fire making and carving.
Our small groups encourage working in community while also gaining independent skills. Our goal is always to help our students better understand the natural world, themselves and each other.
Teen Adirondack Adventure

Overnight Camping
Ages: 13+
Cost: $1500/ participant
Location: Thirteenth Lake, Johnsburg, NY
Our second annual collaborative trip to the Adirondacks with Urban Kid Adventurers to test our skills in the gorgeous Adirondacks State Park. We will be camping along Thirteenth Lake, cooking our food over a fire, fishing, canoeing, hiking, wildcrafting, completing challenges, swimming and experiencing the emotional grounding and clarity of a few days spent immersed in mother nature.
Our small group summer camps encourage kids to be aware, to work in a community, and gain independence and confidence through respect for themselves, the natural world and each other. Games, exploring the landscapes, and handmade projects are daily activities and lead by advanced level outdoor educators.
Food and materials provided from lunch August 25 to lunch August 29.
