For Teens looking to find community and build their skills LandWise offers the Teen Wilderness Skills Training Course which runs weekly, meeting once a week on Wednesdays. It will run August to December and January to May with registration by semester. These students will learn risk management, survival skills like friction fire and shelter building, knife and tool use, but will also take deep dives into areas of interest to them to push their skills. All program days are outdoors and have a slightly more relaxed schedule than the youth adventure collective day. Arrival times run 9am-9:45 drop off and the day ends with pick up between 3:30-4:15. There will be several optional field trips where the teens do not meet at the Wimberley Campus, but meet instead at one of several local wild spaces to learn a particular skill set- think wild clay harvesting and processing, foraging for a specific species, or learning a technical skill like reading river currents, distance backpacking or setting top ropes for climbing. Wilderness First Aid training will be part of the curriculum for this course as well as Leave No Trace education. In a world that frequently looks at teens as less capable than they are we want to honor their abilities and support their goals with a focus on preparing the participants to be able to safely adventure as they move towards independence.
