Year-Round Programs
Otter Adventures
(ages 6-8)
One Saturday per month, six hours a day, gift your child the ritual of a day immersed in play that build connections with the flora, fauna and ecology of Theo Wirth Park, Silverwood Park, and Samsara Ridge. Samsara Ridge is our property in St. Croix Falls, where we do a fall & spring overnight!
This program supports your child in a consistent community centered around nature led free-play over the course of nine months.
Outdoor Odyssey
(ages 9-11)
Outdoor Odyssey is a year-long program for children to deeply experience and engage in place-based nature connection to receive the plethora of gifts all of our seasons have to offer, while being away from the city and immersed in a magical landscape. Each month the group will retreat to the Saint Croix River Valley at Wilderness Awakening’s rural campus called Samsara Ridge, just north of St. Croix Falls, WI. For nine of the twelve months, we will camp out together in our Lotus Belle Tent, which is equipped with a wood burning stove and insulate layer. During the coldest months of December, January and February, we will have a day-long retreat to experience the heart of winter in the woods. We have a beautiful year-round tiny home built on the property which will serve as a shelter in case of weather emergencies.
