Laughing Coyote

Youth Homeschool Program The Youth Homeschool Program is a weekly program focusing on primitive and traditional skills, games, and immersion into nature. The skills we work on every year are diverse, with some core skills learned by everyone. Knife skills and safety, fire making and cordage form a foundation. From there, we have worked on: archery, atlatl, basketry, felting, spinning, friction fire, pottery, traps, slings, bolas, edible plants, primitive cooking, wildlife tracking, netting, earth pigments, bone and antler tools, cattail craft and more. Over the year students develop confidence, forge friendships, and find a connection to nature and the skills of our ancestors. Teen Homeschool Program The energy, questioning and growth of the teenage years are met perfectly by intensive earth skills with a strong social component, leadership opportunities and programs designed to expose teens to positive role models. The Laughing Coyote Project Teen Homeschool Program perfectly fills these needs. This program meets one or two days per week for students ages 13-18. Working closely with instructors, students craft their curriculum, combining personal projects, group projects and work maintaining the Laughing Coyote Site. In the past the teen program has worked on friction fire, bowmaking, primitive pottery, cooking over the fire, shelters, proper tool use and more. If you are looking for a profound program that will support you teen to forge a personal connection to the natural world and become of member of a close knit modern tribe; learn to develop healthy personal relationship and work with strong role models; to become a vibrant member of a community passionate about living fully, please contact us to answer any questions you may have and set up an interview to be a part of this group.
