This is a relaunch of last year's Teen Leadership Program. 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 four Fall weekends and will create a foundation for attending the Teen Scout Week in the Primitive Camp in Summer 2023.
The first weekend (October 21-23) will run alongside our Family Weekend in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, and all interested teens are welcome to attend, with or without a parent. To participate in subsequent weekends, teens will be required to submit an application. Our instructor team will schedule a Zoom meeting with the parents to ensure the program is a good fit before offering registration.

Family Wilderness Skills Weekend
October 21-23, 2022
(Friday-Sunday)
Pine Barrens Primitive Camp, NJ
We are pleased to announce our 2022 Fall Family Weekend at the Pine Barrens Primitive Camp, October 21-23.
Now more than ever, our youth need to get outside and experience what nature is sharing through all the seasons! This weekend will inspire you and your family to get outdoors throughout the colder seasons to come. Late fall into winter is an amazing time to be in nature; as the skills of fire making and shelter building really come to life. We look forward to recalling the Old Ways, sitting around the campfire with friends and family, sharing stories, gratitude, and laughter!
All meals will be provided (dinner on Friday, breakfast/lunch/dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday). We can't wait to gather with nature and each other around the fire and under the stars. ❤
See you there!
- Rick Berry & the 4E Crew
