The Badgerstone Walking is centered around the Anasazi legends, skills (such as: cordage from plant fiber, fire without matches, stone arrowheads, etc.) And makings. On the trail and around the campfire, staff will share stories of forward walkings and help identify the awakenings of the heart.

The Lone Walking prepares Young Walkers to reunite with parents and begin a new walking together. While camping together in the harmony of the wilderness, with the quiet sounds of earth and sky and through the talking of the heart, relationships can be healed.
