Upcoming Programs for Adults
- Where: Online, so the location can be… your choice! You will need to be able to go outside, plus access to email and the capacity to make phone calls or join Zoom sessions.
- When: 9am-5pm, Saturday & Sunday, on Apr 2-3, and Apr 30-May 1, 2022.
- Who: adults. Aimed at educators, mentors, and parents but open to all adults.
These two weekend workshops use a hybrid online & home-based format to explore the mentoring frameworks we use at Vermont Wilderness School. We think of these as the “power-pack” of practices that support successful mentoring. Amazing things tend to happen when we take this multi-layered approach.
*New Program!* Summer Tracking Intensive
- Where: Various locations within 30 miles of Brattleboro, VT.
- When: Sat 9:00 am – 3:00 pm & Sun 8:00 am – 2:00 pm, Jun-Sep, one weekend a month in 2022.
- Who: Adults (Age 18+). Open to both novice and experienced trackers.
When it comes to wildlife tracking in New England, your mind might jump to cold winter temperatures and deep snows. And while southern Vermont is a great place for snow tracking, the numerous river banks, muddy areas, and sandy locations, make for exceptional warm weather tracking as well!
Upcoming Programs for Youth
*New Program!* Teen Leadership Camp
- Where: Ft. Dummer State Park, Brattleboro VT.
- When: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm, Jun 23 — 24 (Thu & Fri), 2022.

This short camp can kick-off the summer for teens looking to prepare themselves for jobs & service projects. But we won’t forget to also prioritize connection with other teens, and fun!
