In Sentinels, we are introducing you to what we call “experiential wilderness skills and awareness training.” This type of skill development will help you learn things that are difficult to learn in a conventional classroom—things like attachment to natural areas and motor skills necessary to thrive there.

In this case study, we narrate the story of one exercise deployed in this course, a night class in the forest, which has proven valuable for helping our students develop an affective connection with the natural surroundings.
