Lynx

Saturdays, 12 - 4pm

(Ages 12 - 16)

Building strength and resilience, fostering connection, having fun, learning the land.

Lynx is a group for self-identified girls, young women, as well as non-binary folx, to come together in a community of laughter, learning and deeper connection to themselves, each other and the land. Like the Latin meaning of lynx, gleaming eyes, the aim of the program at the end of the day is for young people to walk out of the woods feeling refreshed by their time in nature that shows in their gleaming eyes.

What to expect

Every day in the Lynx program has a different focus, that also contains the staples of GOS such as exploring the landscape, games that teach, skill work such as fire making, singing, community building, resilience and storytelling. We often invite guests to share new perspectives and skills with us. We also share talking circles, work on building our skills as naturalists and work to encourage each other to feel heard and able to share who we are in a clear loud voice. The overarching theme to all of these elements is fun. We aim to send home tired, muddy, happy individuals who have fostered a greater sense of belonging to themselves and the world.
