Ithaca College

Primitive Pursuits, a Cornell Cooperative Extension program based here in Ithaca, will offer two Wilderness Skills Intensive programs this spring, during and after the spring academic semester. The course will cover a wide variety of primitive technology skills, naturalist skills and teaching methods. The skills to be gained by completing this program are highly valued in both traditional and outdoor education spheres 

Join us at one of two upcoming demonstration and info sessions to learn more about this transformative and exciting opportunity directly from the instructor. Information on summer employment and internship opportunities with Primitive Pursuits will also be shared. The session will be presented twice: at noon and again at 6 PM in CNS 115 on Tues 10 November. Please join us!! 

Primitive Pursuits has been a local leader in the nature awareness movement for over ten years, and our year-round programs for youth and adults currently serve over 1000 participants annually. If you are an ENVS student, you know of them through the department’s Environmental Sentinels class!
