for ways to a sustainable future.

Each school, with the exception of our Day School, offers
beginner, intermediate and advanced camps. The offerings of
all schools are interconnected to form Kroka’s core curriculum,
following a progression that takes students from childhood through
adolescence and into young adulthood.
Common threads run through all of our programs:
Living with simplified personal needs and belongings
Putting the needs of the group before those of the individual
Eating locally grown food, working at Kroka’s farm and
in the garden, and on local farms to supplement our daily diet,
preparing all food from scratch, and cooking and baking over
an open fire.
