Our Coyote Tracks and Young Coyote Tracks youth programs provide a time and place for children to explore nature in a hands-on way. 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 group session is a unique experience, but each seasonal series includes timeless wanders and ancient awareness games. Older children will practice making and working with various tools, as well as fire building. All ages will enjoy hands on activities, games, adventures and so much more! |

Join us in Philadelphia for Fall Coyote Tracks! Our programs introduce children to Earth Skills - a blend of the ancient arts of wildlife tracking, natural movement, wilderness survival, nature awareness, and cross cultural history. Our Programs are inspired by Indigenous values and the old ways, influenced by the Tracker School and each Instructor's own "dirt time" living these skills.
Every session includes circle time and gratitude sharing. |

About the Program: This program is designed to offer Teens a chance to spend extended time in a natural setting throughout the year; learning and living with the seasonal variations of Nature..
Teens will practice wildlife track and sign identification, explore natural awareness exercises, and get ‘dirt time’ learning other Earth Skills--such as how to: build a shelter, make fire from the landscape, procure clean water, and harvest wild foods!
In all we do together, we work to build situational awareness and personal strength, and toward the end goal of becoming Caretakers of the Earth - while also having fun! |
