Dancing Coyote Camp — The Nature Awareness Experience for Children Ages 7-14

Dancing Coyote Camp is a Fun Place to Learn

Nature really is the best teacher. Almost every lesson we need to learn can be taught by nature. The old stories handed down to the younger generations by the indigenous peoples of the world were almost always connected with nature.

At Dancing Coyote Camp, children learn a sense of their own place in nature. They learn about a wide variety of subjects with lessons focusing on one topic at a time, but utilizing a number of skills:

Geology – more than just rocks, boulders, and mountains, the children learn about native American creation myths and stories

History and Anthropology – learning about human needs, native peoples

Energy – sources and how they serve mankind, our role in the stewardship of these energy sources, elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Sky

Botany – the camp and surrounding area are filled with hundreds of plants about which to learn, leaf identification, photosynthesis, practical uses

Zoology – the wide variety of local animals provides an excellent classroom, track identification, eating habits, interactions with people, observation of animal habitats

Astronomy – studying the night sky to identify constellations, point out planets, and learn features and phases of the moon

Meteorology – whatever the conditions, it's always a lesson in reading weather patterns, cloud formations, the water cycle

Art – nature makes the perfect subject for children's art projects, drawing and painting their discoveries makes the experience more memorable

Writing – as the children write in their journals, keep notes from experiments, and even practice their storytelling and poetry, they develop a stronger sense of their own style of writing

Communication, leadership, team building – these crucial skills are developed through team exercises and fun activities like skits and storytelling

Your child's natural curiosity will be stimulated through a range of techniques: story telling, self-discovery, experimentation, writing results, group discussion, questions and answers, visiting experts, and more. Individual learning styles are easily accommodated. The children learn using the Montessori approach: through focused sensory awareness activities, physical activity, and then synthesizing the outcome of the lessons.

Teaching our connections with and our place within nature is easy at Dancing Coyote Camp. Everything around us is readily available for exploration.
