How
do you become a skilled outdoor instructor and mentor?
With the publication of Coyote’s Guide, and the rise of the No Child Left Inside movement spurred on by Richard Louv and others, we are focusing our efforts on our Art of Mentoring and Coyote Mentoring workshops. These help meet the demand for experiential training so that teachers, parents and outdoor educators have an opportunity to experience the magic of Coyote’s Guide first-hand, while also learning how to bring it back to their community.
