Coyote Programs
2026-27 Dates and Registration Coming Soon!
Explore. Discover. Connect.
Our Saturday leadership programs are an opportunity for young people to practice group team-building challenges and wilderness living skills in an inclusive, supportive group of peers.
Welcome to the Circle!
Our teen meet-ups offer an incredible opportunity to learn life skills in the outdoors amongst a supportive group of peers and highly qualified mentors. Our process and small group size ensure an inclusive and supportive group culture.
We are excited to witness and nurture the creativity and ingenuity of these awesome young minds!
