Coyote kids Fall 2014 Session

Okay.  I admit it.  Blogging didn't end up on the top of my priority list for the Fall session.  Having fun with kids and creating a great program did, however!

It was a great fall.  We had 6 mentors and 20 kids in the village.  There were some great projects like:  bead making, coal burning a community bowl, cordage jump ropes, pottery with clay from the riverbanks, cordage, shelter building, thankfulness gifts to the land, yoga, music making, romping and much much more.

 Here is a conglomeration of our pictures from the season, in hopes that they will provide information, provoke memories, and give you something fun to share with friends and extended family.  As always, I'm thankful for the wonderful families who take part in the Coyote Kids program.  I hope you get outside this winter to look for tracks, build forts and have fun.  See you in the Spring!!
