Flying Deer Nature Center

About

Flying Deer Nature Center (FDNC) is a nonprofit wilderness school and community dedicated to mentoring children, youth, adults, and families in deep connection to nature, self, and others. Since 1996, FDNC has offered nature-immersion programming for people of all ages, through school and homeschool programs, summer camps, corporate curriculums, rites-of-passage experiences, adult programs, and outreach events. Our work aims not only to teach naturalist practices and wilderness survival skills, but also to foster in participants a lifelong relationship with nature and access to the gifts it brings: resilience, creativity, and the ability to listen deeply to ourselves and to others. We all need the benefits of connecting with the natural world and, in like measure, nature needs our care. This deep and reciprocal relationship with the earth is at the heart of our mission.
