"Coyote Club was developed by John Pazdon and Mary Mazur in 2007 as a way to introduce children to nature-based studies, native crafts and environmental stewardship. It is believed that today's children are suffering from what some call "nature deficit disorder", and the creation of Coyote Club was driven by a passion to rid children of this deficit by getting them out of the house, into the woods and connected to their environment. Children involved in nature-based education programs often experience a deeper sense of self respect, self esteem and a strengthening of their connection to the natural world. We believe that each child has a gift, which is often revealed through wildlife observation, awareness exercises and primitive skills exploration. It is our hope that we will be able to recognize and nurture that gift, and encourage that child to further develop and honor those unique abilities, strengths and talents we all possess." There are 8 major topics which we would like to introduce over the course of the program. These topics will run in no specific order, as the patterns of Mother Nature strongly dictate what subjects are best taught for the week.??The topics include: survival skills, wilderness awareness, hazards/navigation/mapping, birds, animal signs, plants, shelter, and native crafts.What to Bring:"We would also like to suggest a few items that you may want to bring along with you. Every student should come prepared to go outside, no matter what the weather. A little rain, wind or snow will not keep us inside, however, if the weather looks dangerous (i.e. thunderstorms, high winds, etc…) we may be forced to cancel. Students should always bring proper footwear (boots, hiking shoes, old sneakers, etc.), long sleeved shirts, hats and rugged pants, as well as a journal to write in. We will be providing natural bug spray and spray containing 30% DEET for our students, but if you prefer to use something else, bring it along. We must have written consent to use these sprays on your children. Backpacks, water bottles, binoculars, and field guides are great things to bring along, but not as essential as the things listed above." ??Instructor: John Pazdon Day & Time: Wednesdays, 3:00 - 4:30?Dates:?September 17, 24, and October 1, 8, 15, 22?Registration Fee: $72 for 6 workshops??Notes: ????*You may pick up your child from the MPR at 4:30.????*There is a 24 student maximum for this workshop.Dodge Ball (2nd-5th) (Wednesday)Coach Michaeleen Sicard will lead the kids in multiple rounds of games that stress the fundamentals of this fun sport.?
