Twin Eagles Wilderness School
eNewsletter - May 2022
Greetings from Twin Eagles Wilderness School! Spring is here, and with it the season of renewal! This is an amazing time of year, as the natural world is regenerating itself with new life everywhere! Dandelion, Trillium, Lady Slippers and countless other low growing plants are flowering, Morel & Spring Coral Mushrooms are bursting from the ground in epic quantities, and all the spring song birds are back establishing territories, nesting, and laying eggs. The trees have all leafed out, reminding us that the heart of Spring is here!
The past month has been equally busy here at Twin Eagles. Kids at our Youth Programs have been hunting morel mushrooms, practicing primitive skills, and learning to see through the eyes of the wild animals. Local teens gathered for an epic Walkabout at our Seasonal Teen Rendezvous, journeying through the Moses Lake Sand Dunes, and we just completed this year's Boy's Rite of Passage, initiating new young men in our community. We're busy preparing for three upcoming adult programs including our 10 day Wilderness Skills Instructor Training Program, our weekend Wild Edible & Medicinal Plants Workshop, and our weekend Wildlife Tracking Class - The Art of Trailing. Summer Camp is now full, but you're welcome to join a waitlist. We're incredibly thankful to do this work, and the support you all give us as we work together to bring nature back to the center of culture, where it belongs.

Do you yearn to feel at one with nature?
Do you wish to guide the younger generation?
Are you seeking a community of like minds & hearts?
Do you want to truly discover yourself?
Twin Eagles Wilderness Skills Instructor Training Program is a ten day intensive that provides adults a rich opportunity to immerse themselves in the teachings of the Earth and develop themselves as nature connection mentors. Wilderness survival, wildlife tracking, wild edible & medicinal plants, naturalist training, bird language, nature based mentoring, outdoor leadership, and inner tracking become pathways to a transformational journey of deep connection with nature, community, mentoring, & self.
This experience will give you the chance to slow down and embrace time-tested, ancient practices of connecting deeply with nature and earth based approaches to education that we've been successfully facilitating for nearly twenty years. You'll steep in a culture of nature based mentoring with peers that will feel more like family by the end of the experience. You'll be guided by experienced, gifted, open-hearted mentors to discover your authentic self.
In a fast paced world that is increasingly fostering disconnection, this opportunity is designed from the ground up to holistically develop resiliency, a sense of place, confidence, vision, peace, meaning, leadership, mentoring, and connection. It is an opportunity to build relationships with what is truly important in life.
The Twin Eagles Wilderness Skills Instructor Training Program is for adults with a passion for nature, community, mentoring, and self-discovery who are ready to transform from yearning for deep connection to nature and mentoring, to living a life of deep connection with nature and mentoring.

Wildlife Tracking Class - The Art of Trailing
Sandpoint, Idaho · For adults 18+

During this weekend, you'll discover how tracking is the original, multi-disciplinary, and multi-sensory way in which human beings have evolved to observe patterns and make sense out of the world. This class will focus on the fundamental skills for following a fresh trail with the intention of catching up to the animal. We will learn first-hand from the animals through the act of trailing them. We'll spend time learning:
- Finding a Trail to Follow
- Noticing Tracks in Diverse Substrates
- Predicting the Animal's Route of Travel
- Seeing Tracks Ahead in the Distance
- Interpreting Animal Behavior on the Trail
- Track Aging Methods
- How to Systematically Relocate a Trail After Losing It
- Reading Wind Currents
- Moving Quietly in the Bush
- Spotting Animals Before They See You

Summer Camps 2022 - Waitlist Only
This year, our summer camp registration happened at an incredibly fast rate. We opened up registration on February 1, and we were 50% full within 24 hours, with about 150 individual camper registrations. Within a week we were about 75% full, with another 100 registrations having come in. Summer Camps 2022 are now full. Our camps have filled up quickly in the past, but never like this.
We're grateful and a bit shocked that our summer camps have filled up so fast. We are working to create more summer camp availability this year, so we strongly suggest that you sign up for our waiting list if you're interested, as we do anticipate opening up more spots.
At Twin Eagles, we believe that connecting deeply with nature is critical to whole child development. The experiences we offer bring kids back to a simpler, more connected way of life where their senses are honed to once again hear the call of the wild, revel in the feeling of mud squishing between their toes, delight in the beauty of wildflowers, and listen to the music in mountain streams. Kids develop authentic resiliency through real world challenges and traditional earth based skills as they experience the deep peace of the natural world.
Our highly trained instructors draw out kids' passions through nature based activities like:
- Making fire by friction
- Learning edible & medicinal plants
- Exploring natural mysteries
- Tracking wild animals
- Building natural shelters
- Discovering the language of the forest
- Training as the native scouts of old did
- Learning earth based crafts, stories, songs
- and much, much more!
Covid-19 - What to Expect - We are proud that we have been running programs safely since the summer of 2020. With your help, our commitment is to continue to do the same throughout this coming summer. Please read our updated health protocols here.
