Please go to our program page to sign up for the one day program, Monday, November 11, 2013!
“Mary has a passion to work with children (and adults), teaching them skills that will help them integrate into nature and be able to fully experience all that the earth and the animals have to offer. My daughters (ages 9 and 12) have learned survival skills, how to make their own bow from just a piece of wood, how to scout, build a fire, skin a reptile, kill an animal in a sacred way, how to be in nature and be one with it, and how to elevate their senses in order to fully take in the world around them – whether in nature, or in their everyday lives. There are not many programs like this, especially for girls, and Mary’s approach and enthusiasm make her stand out above the rest.”

“Way of the Wild is a wonderful out door program- Yes because it is outside on beautiful land, Yes because the children learn out door skills, Yes because kids get to be kids and run and frolic … but the best thing about this program is the honor that Mary Sweeny, the director, gives these children. Mary includes them in the decision making of the day’s events. Mary fully engages with them by asking them questions about what their point of views are, as well as solutions to problems and how they would like to spend their time. This way of empowering children is crucial to them trusting themselves later on in life. Mary is a gem among educators.”
