Ermine Adventures
One Saturday morning per month, gift your child the anchor of a morning immersed in activities that build connections with the flora, fauna and ecology of Theo Wirth Park, the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Silverwood Park and Samsara Ridge.
This Program includes an overnight camping trip at our rural campus of Samsara Ridge just north of St. Croix Falls. A caregiver is welcome to accompany if needed or wanted- to continue to build friendships and a true love of the outdoors!
During this year-long program Julia & Britta will gather the children to explore the endless magic of various eco-systems. During the cold months we will gather at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge where a cozy lodge provides respite and a fireplace to share stories and work with our hands.

Refund Policy:
This offering is a school-year-long series of adventures. It is sold as a commitment to attend most, if not all, sessions. The intention is to have a consistent group of children. Through this practice, a deepened trust is created and the children awaken new levels of magic and potential. Refunds after the first session, will not be refunded, due to the interruption of the group of bringing in new members. Refunds for missed sessions for whatever reason are also not refunded.
