Skills and Arts for Girls of the Earth (S.A.G.E.)
Girls are explorers, leaders, adventure seekers, trailblazers, trackers, storytellers, fire makers, singers of songs, and more! Our S.A.G.E. program is designed to create a space for girls to develop these skills, practice their strengths and learn from each other in a peaceful, supportive atmosphere.
Through a variety of earth-living skills, they will explore the many wonders that the Pratt Nature Center provides through the art of observation. We meet once a month after school. Each session will have a focus that may include: hiking, fire and shelter building, plant and bird identification, map reading and orienteering, awareness and tracking, archery, outdoor adventuring, and the arts and writing for creative expression. Sessions may also include guest speakers that will provide insight into new topics!
Girls are encouraged to bring their ideas and interests. Reflection time, group discussion, and meditation will also be included. Each participant will be actively involved in each session as they support one another’s strengths, challenge themselves, and strive to be the best version of who they are!
Our S.A.G.E. program is facilitated by long time friend of the Pratt Nature Center, Kaitlin Clark!
An avid lover of the outdoors and all things nature, Kaitlin brings a variety of knowledge and topics to explore. Art and nature have been a huge creative influence in her life and she is excited to share these gifts as well as the inner peace and calm that nature provides us all. Kaitlin has been an educator for 15 years in both public and private school systems as well as in local wellness centers and non-profits. She also holds a master’s degree in Integrative Health and Wellness which led her to her passion for locally grown goodness and organic farming. She has led a variety of workshops, groups, and classes in natural wellness, creative/visual, and healing arts for children, teens, and adults.
S.A.G.E. is open to middle and high school (Grades 6-12) girls and meets once per month. This program is free but donations are appreciated.
