Join Coyote Tracks in Cape May, NJ! Coyote Tracks Cape May Homeschool Program will introduce Earth Skills, a blend of the ancient arts of tracking, wilderness survival, and nature awareness. Through our programs, a re-thinking of our connection to nature begins to occur. Nature is not simply a resource that we control as a product, but a relationship we must cultivate. Through hands-on skills, games, and storytelling, we create an "invisible school", where kids learn directly from the Earth while having tons of fun, laughing and playing with each other.
Each group session is a unique experience, but each seasonal series includes timeless wanders and ancient awareness games. Our curriculum is inspired from Indigenous values and the Old Ways Earth Skills, largely learned from the Tracker School and through each Instructor's own "dirt time" living these skills.

We use storytelling and outdoor adventure to guide participants through their introduction to and exploration of Earth skills—a blend of the ancient arts of tracking, wilderness survival, and nature awareness.
These fun and interactive programs aim to nurture each participant’s true sense of belonging here on the Earth. Each week/session is a unique experience, but the season series will include timeless wanders, ancient awareness games, fire-side experiences, hands on activities, and more! Older children will also practice working with or making various tools, as well as fire building.
Children in the family that are not within the age range of this program are welcome to stay with the group and participate in whatever capacity they choose.
