Fox Walkers Youth Programs

4EEE Teen, Adult and Family Programs

Our Programs introduce Earth Skills, a blend of the ancient arts of tracking, wilderness survival, and nature awareness. Through our programs, a re-thinking of our connection to nature begins to occur.

Through hands-on skills, games, songs and storytelling, we create an "invisible school", where kids learn directly from the Earth while having tons of fun, laughing and playing with each other. Our curriculum is inspired from Indigenous values and the Old Ways Earth Skills, largely learned from the Tracker School and through each Instructor's own "dirt time" living these skills.

Located in the Burton Educational Preserve, a few minutes from downtown Nevada City, previously know as Burton Homestead. This 38+ acres of land is home to our Fox Walkers programs and the Pata Panaka Village site, a restoration of the landscape and the rebuilding of a cultural village with the Siakumne Tribe.

Nature is not simply a resource that we control as a product, but a relationship we must cultivate.

Due to the limited number of weeks being offered this summer, families can only register their child for 1 of the weeks of day camp. This gives all families an opportunity to register their kiddos for camp. Should space become available closer to the time, we will inform families accordingly.
Thank you for your patience and consideration.

4 Elements Earth Education brings the arts of wilderness survival to life through outdoor adventure, storytelling, and hands-on development of Earth skills.

Our Instructors have a variety of skills and experience as they guide youth towards nature's teachings. We are constantly "role-modeling" respect with the natural world and with each other.
