Reconnecting with the Natural World

May 26-30, 2025

Immerse yourself and your family into the ways of our ancestors as we learn to slow down, act fast, quiet the body and mind, and reconnect with the elements of nature.

Join Mohonk’s Naturalist Michael Ridolfo as he teaches time-tested principles of tracking and wildlife observation, authentic survival skills, and more. To craft an awesome cadre of teachers, Michael will be joined by Dr. Jackie Schnurr, Professor at Wells College, Dr. Dan Bogan, Professor at Sienna College, and Lynn Bogan, Environmental Stewardship Coordinator with New York State Parks. This program has something to offer to everyone, from the urbanite to the seasoned naturalist. After this week you will see the natural world with a new set of eyes and a quiver of new tools.
