This program is designed to build the following character traits:

Creativity: Teens explore their creative potential through long-term craft projects, natural material art, and wilderness tool-making, all while guided by Pine mentors who encourage experimentation and hands-on learning.
Curiosity: Teens deepen their naturalist skills by exploring local parks, asking questions about plants, wildlife, and ecosystems, and following their own interests in a supportive community of peers and mentors.

Teen Skills n’ Chill is the perfect way for teens (ages 13–17) to stay connected to nature, develop outdoor skills, and build community—all while balancing their busy high school schedules. Whether you’re continuing your Pine journey or joining for the first time, this program offers a relaxed and supportive space to explore, create, and grow with peers and experienced mentors.

Each week, participants gather to sip wild-crafted teas, work on long-term nature craft projects, explore local parks, and deepen their knowledge of plants, animals, and outdoor skills. There’s plenty of time to hang out, laugh, and connect, making this program a unique blend of challenge and chill.
