Connect with your ancestral traditions and tune in to your animal nature by exploring the trails and forests of Portland.

We will practice hiking, running and agility skills, discuss the importance of forest stewardship and supportive social dynamics of a “pack”, and much more!  Mornings will start w/ movement games and drills, before heading out to a different trail each day before it gets too hot. Afternoons will involve water activities, and cooperative games/adventures. Every day will be different, incorporating engaging and inspiring activities from your trail mentors. The kids will be so excited to come home and tell you about their daily escapades!
