Merrymeeting Adult Education

For one week, each morning, your child will be introduced to nature by learning some basic Registered Maine Guide skills. Throughout the week, they will practice using a compass, learning to identify different flora and fauna, starting a fire, cooking on a fire, tying knots, building shelters, and adapting to different weather conditions. They will create a nature notebook, keep daily logs and drawings, practice outdoor mindful experiences, and be guided by Master Maine Guide Alice Bean Andrenyak. Everyone should dress for the day's weather, bring a small backpack with water and nut-free snacks, pencils and markers, a hat, sunscreen, non-aerosol bug repellent, and their curiosity. *Ages: 8-12.
