Review for Children of the Earth Foundation, Waretown, NJ, USA
My son attended approximately seven classes thru Children of the Earth Foundation about six to eight years ago. As he is diabetic, I needed to be available, so volunteered during the classes. I was able to watch how the classes were conducted and was able to participate in many of the activities. Hands down it was the best experience my son could have ever had. It instilled confidence that to this day affects his life. Although he enjoyed the outdoors before, the classes increased his awareness and skills so that he is now an accomplished outdoorsman. This is comforting for a diabetic mother! The staff is exceptionally professional and skilled and have excellent skills in engaging children. I highly, highly recommend this school for all kids.

consistant financal backing.
One thing I'd also say is that...
If more children understand where everything they use and eat comes from in the natural world, and try to hunt, gather and create what they need, they would have a much higher respect for the earth. They would naturally have an interest in protecting it.
