Headwaters Outdoor School operates on two levels. It is a school for anyone interested in learning traditional earth skills such as fire making with a bow drill, how to build an earth shelter in summer or winter, identification of edible plants and many other earth skills. The school also has earth philosophy and nature awareness classes that connect the student with the wonders of the natural world through meditations in their chosen sacred nature spots and other exercises that create a deeper connection with the environment and ultimately within them.
