About

Our Mission

Mentoring students outdoors to foster confidence, resilience, and kinship with nature is our mission. Whole Earth Nature School is about more than developing outdoor skills, we are about developing thriving human beings.


Our Vision

Through the pathway of nature connection and wilderness skills, our students are given the support they need to flourish. Through fire making, students learn patience, resilience, and safety. Through hiding, they learn stillness, observation and awareness.


Our Values

We believe that access to nature is a human right and recognize that structural inequities impact participation in outdoor experiences. Through staff training, student financial support, and culturally responsive curriculum, we commit to providing greater access to inclusive nature experiences so that everyone can benefit from the healing power of nature.
