Our Thursday, September 10th Praxis: Pathfinders session sold out in less than 24 hours, so we added an extra SkillCraft Lab on Wednesday, September 9th for ages 11–14.

This SkillCraft Lab session will focus on Wilderness Survival Basics through hands-on outdoor learning, practical problem-solving, teamwork, and healthy challenge. It’s a great introduction to the Pathfinders program and a chance to join the first week even if you missed the original Thursday session.

We still have space in the added Wednesday class and would love to build out the group a bit more.

As the waves retract, we get a glimpse of a world that last for mere seconds at a time. As the waves break and wash up the beach, the swash zone reveals hundreds of bean clams, mole crabs, and other friends surfacing for moments to capture their meals before retreating beneath the sand to await the next wave. Most people never even notice the brief scurry of activity, but now you know to look.

Remember, Not every Miracle Mile adventure lives in the woods.

The remarkably clear photographs and video of the mink were captured by local naturalist Peter Janow on a trail camera in Northport.
