About the Organizer

4 Elements Earth Education

Logo of the wilderness school 4 Elements Earth Education

4 Elements Earth Education (4EEE) is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit. Home of the Fox Walkers Youth Programs, CA and Coyote Tracks Youth Programs, PA/ NJ Our Mission is to offer programs that guide Children, Families, and Teens toward a pure connection to the Earth through ​direct experiences in Nature.

4EEE offers programs that introduce Earth Skills, which are a blend of the ancient arts of tracking, wilderness survival, and nature awareness.  Our curriculum and experienced instructors give children, teens and adults first-hand experience of how to 'read' the landscape as stewards of the Earth. Through our programs, a re-thinking of our relationship to nature begins to occur.  Nature is not simply a resource that we control as a product; it is a relationship we must cultivate.   At 4EEE we offer the tools for our youth to be self-reliant in the natural world through learning the 4 Elements of survival: Shelter, Water, Fire, and Food. This creates a foundation for a young person to find their vision in life

Indigenous Values and Accountability : As a non-profit organization that teaches Earth Skills, we firmly believe that we are intrinsically bound to honor Indigenous Peoples, as this is where we gained our teachings from. Don Ryberg, Chairman of the Siakumne Tribe and Juan Villarreal of the Southern Lipan Apache are active Board Members of 4EEE.

4EEE and the Siakumne Tribe are in partnership with the common goal of educating ourselves and our youth. In this endeavor 4EEE has agreed to the entire Burton Educational Preserve to be sanctioned by the Siakumne Tribe and thus the entire ancient Village site to continue as it had under the Indigenous Land Stewardship ways for thousands of years.  For 15 years 4EEE has been in collaboration with the Lipan Apache Tribe offering youth programs. 4EEE is moving towards a long term partnership with the Tribe and creating programs at the "Red Sun " ranch with Juan Villarreal in South Texas.
