Wilderness School
 “From
wonder into wonder, existence opens”
The North
Cascades Wilderness School, a 22
acre facility located at the upper end of the Methow Valley in Washington
State, offers wilderness based educational programs
for children
11-17 yrs of age.
We are not
a traditional summer camp but a combination of adventure and
educational
programs striving to accomplish one objective;
the re-unification of youth to nature through two approaches.
First, by seeing through “native eyes”, educating
you on your surroundings from a naturalist (animal
and plant identification,
animal tracking, natural history), environmentalism (principles
of forest stewardship, permaculture, and restoration) and
indigenous (shelter construction from natural
materials, locating and purifying
water, creating fire from friction) perspective. Second, experiencing
first hand what nature and the wilderness have to offer by learning
the skills to rock and ice climb, glacier travel, hike, backpack,
white water raft, canoe and orienteering.
.
Whether you are new to the wilderness or have experience we guarantee
we offer a program that will lay a leadership base to grow from, leave you with a better appreciation for nature and provide
the skills necessary to enjoy the wilderness safely.
