Last week we said goodbye to this wonderful human, Last week we said goodbye to this wonderful human, Alice! 🐸

Words can’t express the profound positive impact that Alice has had on us, our programs, and the children that attend. She has gifted us with laughter, joy, inspiration, creativity, colour, magic, music, and a gentleness that all humans should seek to adopt. These things will continue to ripple into our programs for years to come.

Whether she arrived to program as a pirate, a fairy, a hipster frog, or as herself, she always managed to bring the magic of the forest alive just by simply showing up. 

Help us in wishing Alice the best of luck on her next adventure - travelling across the continent to attend @wilderness_awareness school for a whole year! Although she won’t be teaching in programs any more, you will still experience her magic while she continues as our Social Media Coordinator.

During the summer camps on our final days, we have During the summer camps on our final days, we have been having passion shows! This is a chance to showcase a project that was worked hard on during the week like a spoon or an artwork, or share a story or a song or joke or skit about nature ✨ 🎶

🐿 Here are the chipmunks, the youngest group, who started our fire with a song and by bow drill. In this photo they are blowing on the tinder bundle to ignite the flame as the song built around them. What a magical moment!

It is so special to work with the youngest age gro It is so special to work with the youngest age groups, as we know these formative experiences in nature can help them build a life long relationship and sense of home in the outdoor, and within themselves. 

While some things are certainly big and scary seeming to the small kids (look how tall this grass is compared to them!), nature is a wonderful teacher that we can do hard things 🌊🌳🏔

With that said, it’s never too late to dive into this world, no matter how old you are!

Happy belated birthday Cole! Cole is a mentor who Happy belated birthday Cole! Cole is a mentor who is so sneaky, his birthday snuck right by us…🦊

For somebody who doesn’t say so much, he says A LOT in so many other ways. 

Kids and adults alike that have the opportunity to work with Cole never forget the experience. Somehow, he weaves poetry and magic and curiosity into every experience. He leads by example with immense gratitude for the land and the animals, and his authenticity inspires others to embrace their individuality. He challenges people to take their projects and interests to the next level and shows you that you are more capable than you realize, as well as being a fierce and hilarious competitor in “everbody’s it” the game. 

There is nobody like Cole and we are so glad he is a part of the Earth Path family! 💚🌲 Feel free to leave your birthday messages below.
