In this program, students “run the rainbow”, guided by the wise “Council of the Webweavers”:
They earn a blue orb by making contact with Nature, experiencing the sights, sounds, textures and tastes of wild places. They earn a green orb by learning about the wisdom that Nature offers: inter-connectivity, systems, and cycles. They earn a yellow orb by participating in a community building action project.
Then, after the program, they earn an orange orb by sharing what they have learned with their families and friends. And finally, they earn a red orb by participating in a community project in their school.
Webweavers is a nature-based program; students spend the majority of each day in wild spaces.
