Earthroots Teen Program

Join Earthroots Coyote Mentors for an outdoor adventure as you connect with nature and new friends! Learn ancestral arts, stories, and wilderness survival skills in this exciting class designed just for TEENS. The Earthroots Teen Program will be offered monthly at Big Oak Canyon. Imagine yourself tracking wildlife across the landscape, making and shooting your own arrow, foraging for edible plants, and sharing stories with new friends. You will do this and more in this exciting series!
