"I went to the woods because I
wished to live deliberately, to front
only the essential facts of life, and
see if I could not learn what it had
to teach, and not when I came to
die, discover that I had not lived."
-Thoreau

About Owl Creek Programs:
Owl Creek Programs is dedicated to mentoring ourselves and others in
connecting with the natural world. We approach this commitment through nature
awareness, animal tracking, survival skills, community-building, mentoring skills,
and overall fostering strong connections to nature, self, and community. We
aspire to immerse ourselves in nature to realize that nature is not outside of
ourselves but we are a part of the whole. In our programs we strive to have fun,
inspire our students, encourage hope, promote healthy learning and growth,
and demonstrate that nature is a profound teacher about life.
Our unique approach combines modern field sciences with the way indigenous
cultures have passed on lessons to their youth and lived sustainably for
thousands of years. We seek to mentor the next generation of capable leaders
and stewards of our earth who will be prepared to face an uncertain future and
inherit a world that will be unfamiliar to us today.
What is taught and how it is taught is influenced by our experiences learning
from nature and our elders, teachers, and mentors including Tom Brown Jr.,Paul
Raphael, Jon Young, Robert Moss, Mark Morey, and the late Grandfather Ingwe,
and Gilbert Walkingbull,

Sustainability
"We do not need to invent
sustainable human communities.
We can learn from societies that
have lived sustainably for
centuries. We can also model
communities after nature's
ecosystems... Since the
outstanding characteristic of the
biosphere is its inherent ability to
sustain life, a sustainable human
community must be designed in
such a manner that its
technologies and social
institutions honor, support, and
cooperate with nature's inherent
ability to sustain life."
- Fritjof Capra
