Welcome to Flying Deer Nature Center!

Flying Deer Nature Center has been mentoring children, teens, and families in the ways of the earth since 1995. FDNC is part of a regional network of ten schools that draw on the wisdom of earth-based traditions the world over and seek to empower individuals through development of naturalist awareness and self-knowledge.

At Flying Deer, students gain comfort and self-sufficiency in the forest and confidence that empowers them in all aspects of their lives.
