Testimonials
What Families are Saying
“The program was way more than I hoped for, it reached down inside me and pulled out this person that had not been around for a while. It woke her up, shook the dust off her and set her firmly down on the forest floor with an instruction to open her eyes and look around. And I’ve been here marvelling at what I see ever since..” – Sally, Apprenticeship Program Participant
“I joined the Apprenticeship Program as a professional development opportunity to gain experience with a mentoring style that would allow me to deepen my students connection to nature on outdoor education experiences. However, integrating Coyote Mentoring into my practice had impact beyond my outdoor education students and also had a positive impact on my students in the classroom. The holistic approaches helps bring out that innate desire to learn in all students and has allowed us to build better connections with nature and each other.” – Sara, Apprenticeship Program Participant
“Being in the Apprenticeship Program felt like I was experiencing the forest for the first time. As an avid trail runner and backpacker, I didn’t realize how much I was missing out on. I joined to learn about outdoor education, but I left with a connection to nature that has become the most important thing in my life.” – Mikaela, Apprenticeship Program Participant
