Teen Leadership Experience
Wild Earth’s Teen Leadership Experience makes its camp amidst 200 acres of some of the most spectacular and diverse land on High Falls’ Clove Valley Road. The land borders the Shawanghunk Ridge and Mohonk Preserve and features beautiful woodland, rock outcroppings and cliffs, with the Coxing Kill stream tumbling over waterfalls and rockslides on its way north to Wild Earth’s Kestrel camp.
The Teen Leadership Experience is for youth 13 and up who are interested in deepening their relationship with wilderness skills, exploring their relationship with themselves, and learning more about the teaching skills utilized by Wild Earth instructors.
The Teen Leadership Experience will offer your teen a chance to:
- Hone a wilderness skill in the area of their choosing
- Practice core routines such as awareness, journaling, sit-spot, story of the day, animal forms, questioning, wandering, gratitude, etc.
- Shadow a variety of Wild Earth instructors at each of the three camps
- Face personal and group challenges tailored to build self-confidence, group unity, and self-awareness.
- Practice honoring yourself and others, including self nurturing, setting boundaries with younger kids (how not to become a human jungle gym), and making intentions.
- Play, learn and design games.
