What to Expect:

A collaboration between Wilding Education and Home Scouts is an immersive adventure filled with curiosity, laughter, and connection. Expect hands-on nature skills for your survival toolkit, playful games, shared stories, and—of course—great snacks. Guided by co-mentors Sarah, Storm, and Little Bear, each activity is thoughtfully planned to spark wonder, build confidence, and welcome every generation into the experience. There’s a touch of mystery, a lot of joy, and just enough magic to make this a day you won’t forget

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Experienced Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
