Apprenticeship
This is a
unique opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to
design and lead effective nature-based programs for girls. Students
will gain an in-depth understanding of the latest research on girls'
development, including the value if single-sex educational environments
in the pre- and early adolescent years; best practices in outdoor
programs for girls; the importance influence of nature on children's
development; and keys to creating meaningful contemporary rites of
passage. Theoretical knowledge will be coupled with developing
proficiency in nature-based mentoring techniques, Earth-living
(survival) skills, naturalist curriculum, non-violent communication and
conflict resolution, herbal self-care and first aid, and the outdoor
leaderships skills necessary to work safely with groups "wild"
environments.
As part of their training, apprentices will create and
lead their own 12 week nature-based program for girls, while receiving
guidance and support from their mentors and peers.
