Coyote Mentoring is a powerful nature-based educational model that fosters a deep connection with the natural world. Focusing on play, story telling and nature crafts, Coyote Mentoring is an amazing way of getting both children and adults to learn…..without knowing it.

Drawing from our experiences using this model as the foundation for Canmore’s Forest Play programs, this workshop will give you:

  • a chance to rediscover a child-like passion for the natural world
  • an opportunity to experience what it is like to participate in a program based on Coyote mentoring
  • an introduction to the natural learning cycle and essential routines that ground and reconnect us with the natural world
  • an understanding of how stories can be used to create powerful learning experiences.

Find your childlike passion for the world and join us for a fun day of exploring nature and this amazing educational model.
