Wilderness Awareness School - Seattle

What do you remember about nature from your childhood? Most likely, it’s a special place that you would share with friends—making forts, climbing trees and more—all while getting muddy and wet, in all kinds of weather. We bring these kinds of adventures to kids today, giving them opportunities to explore the wonder of the world around them and reconnecting them with nature. As they learn the skills required to survive in the outdoors, they also learn the skills they need to survive—and thrive—in our modern world: self-confidence, healthy risk-taking, learning, and appreciation for the natural world. Of course, each camp program—and camper who participates in them—is different, and so are the set of skills and knowledge they bring home as a result of their experience. In addition, the week’s curriculum will shift opportunistically, taking advantage of the interests of the group, the weather, the particular park or environment in which the program takes place, the animals, and other less predictable learning moments in nature. We have had kids repeat our Nature Adventure camp for every week of summer and they learned something new each time!
