Two Coyotes Wilderness School is a Connecticut nonprofit (founded 2000) that runs nature-mentoring day camps for kids ages 5-15, with up to nine weeklong sessions at its Newtown and Granby sites. Campers learn wilderness skills like tracking, fire-making, shelter-building, tool and craft work, bird language, and foraging, mixed with nature games and free exploration.

Powered by GoogleWe love Two Coyotes!! Our daughter has been going for three sessions so far and we don’t anticipate ever stopping. If you’re looking for an accepting, nurturing, peaceful, and patient atmosphere… this is it. The mentors are phenomenal and you can feel the love for what they do.
I absolutely love bringing my children to Two Coyotes Wilderness School! I am very impressed by this group’s amazing ability to nurture young learners with strong mentorship. The brilliant teachers also introduce them to new experiences, such as building fires and wood carving. They offer such a wonderful appreciation for the natural world, and help to create and inspire fun adventures and challenges that are always based upon respect, trust and safety for all.
I've been going for more than ten years as a student and I must say this program has become a second home. The staff are all amazing and great with the kids, and the community as a whole is welcoming and supportive. Everything is done quite safely and respectfully, and the activities we do and experiences I've had are unique to Two Coyotes. I've learned a lot here as well as made some really good friends. I highly recommend it! ^-^
My son attended a single day program at Sticks and Stones farm in Newtown. At first he was hesitant but when he came home couldn't stop talking about it. The program is active, outside, educational, and hands on. He came home with charcoal all over his face and was thrilled about it. I was thrilled that he could have such a fun, active, expansive day where he'd usually have to join me at work. The staff was friendly and understanding. From what I've heard and the bit I observed they're great with the kids! After today I absolutely plan to send him back for future programs.
Many wonderful outdoor activities and a beautiful space for nature connection.
