Coyote Pups
We know Coyote Pups are curious and imaginative. That’s why we make each week a new adventure! We wander through the forest to find cool mysteries, play games that transform us into sneaky animals, and sing songs about nature’s wonders. By spending time outside with new friends and caring instructors, Coyote Pups build independence, social skills and resilience. We spark a love of nature that will last their entire lives!
Coyote Pups learn:
- About common plants and animals that share our environment
- How to identify and manage things that could be harmful
- Basic survival skills like fire-building and tool use
This is the BEST education beyond the standard classroom. It offers children hands on learning by instructors who care about each child as an individual, providing them with a wealth of knowledge of the natural world in a classroom that is ever changing.
