“Wildheart Bigfoot Fanatics” – Spaces available
Friday, February 2nd, 2018
Ages 6 – 11
Why are Bigfoot believers and raving lunatics often mentioned in the same breath? Simple: Bigfoot believers are often CRAZY-cool people! That’s why we’ve created Wildheart Bigfoot Fanatics. If you are convinced that mysteries in the forest still exist, that humans have barely scratched the surface of who bigfoot may be, and you feel inspired to journey out and discover the truth for yourself, then you may be a CRAZY-perfect fit for this inspiring class. Bigfoot fanatics will train in the skill of tracking, as it is crucial to be able to discern typical animal and human prints from the elusive bigfoot track. They will also practice in the art of invisibility to better understand such a stealthy creature. This skill will be practiced in team games in order to test our abilities of tracking an elusive target. Finally, students will learn to navigate the delicate relationship of reciprocity between themselves and nature which is a common theme in many bigfoot experiences. Whether or not we encounter the most mysterious creature in our forests, there is sure to be a bounty of fun, stories, and laughter.
Students Will:
- Practice the art of tracking
- Learn camouflage techniques
- Explore the art of moving through the woods without being noticed
- Share stories of Bigfoot encounters
- Navigate the delicate relationship of reciprocity between humans and nature
