Welcome to EarthWork Programs
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERNSHIPS FOR
SPRING AND SUMMER PROGRAMS--apprentices and mentors needed!
Our Vision
Our vision is to offer people experiences in nature that will introduce them to a new awareness of themselves
and the natural world around them. We achieve this by immersing people in nature through Adventure Experiences,
Wilderness Living Skills, Nature Awareness, Tracking, Communication and Community Building Skills, and by
bringing forth Native teachings from Elders around the world. It is our hope that these experiences act as a
reminder of how beautiful and sacred nature is and how good it feels to be connected to it and to the people
around us.
Earthwork has been
running Nature-Based Education, Community Building, and Long- term
Mentoring Experiences since 1999.
NEW!

We have also within the last year been
recognized as a
Nurtured
Heart School
and
are training schools, parents and others in this unique approach that
is committed to building inner
wealth of the children and community
members we all share.
To learn more,
we recommend reading the book, The Inner
Wealth Initiative by Glasser, Grove and
Block.
What Earthwork Programs aims to create are not just naturalists,
trackers, and primitive skills
experts, but also “…powerful, centered,
self-motivated young adults, able to think critically for themselves, with
the confidence and inspiration to dream a vivid dream of their own future,
and the skills and enthusiasm to pursue that vision.” (Excerpt from
Wilderness Awareness School, of which Earthwork Programs is affiliated with
and part of an international movement.)
