About the Program
Schmitz is a perfect place to have an outdoor after school exploration & adventure. Schmitz Park has everything we need to learn about the plants and animals, play awareness games and use nature to calm our nervous system. Skills we learn in the field will be applicable to home and school as your child acquires tools for listening, focusing, and having a relationship with science and place through intuition a sensory intelligence.

Testimonial : “My son loves and looks forward to his time with Porcupine in Schmitz park every week. I can see that over the years he has attended this program he has gained self-confidence, has learned to work with others and also so much knowledge about the natural world. Porcupine teaches the kids to be independent, confident and aware of their surroundings and also the importance of stewardship of the forest. It's truly an amazing program! As an added bonus, I now get to take him on hikes and marvel as he excitedly shares his knowledge with me! I look forward to enrolling his little brother as well”. Kate Genesee Hill ES Parent
About your instructor: I am also very happy to have a second group that will go with Saucy, an experienced instructor with a rich background in "Nature Connection Education" and Survival Skills & Crafts as well! The kids love Saucy. Saucy is a trained in Coyote Mentoring!
