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.
Groups meet once per week. Every session includes circle time and gratitude sharing.

TEEN EARTH SKILLS TRAINING (TEST)
Fall 2023: A Journey into Grandfather's Worlds
Fall 2023: A Journey into Grandfather's Worlds

Teen Earth Skills Training is a monthly program focusing on the Wilderness Passage skills for young and older teens.
Every human has four elemental needs: shelter, water, fire and food. The Wilderness Passage aspects are designed to offer teens the opportunity to develop a relationship with nature through earth skills, creating confidence, self-sufficiency and transformation.
Achieving the skills of making a friction fire and sleeping in a debris hut, will be at the heart of the weekends and will create a foundation for attending the Teen Scout Games Week in the Primitive Camp in August 2023
