In The Community
Sign up for camp at Silver Lake...  Silver Lake Brochure

Course offered at Noble Horizons You won’t save what you don’t love. Using this statement as our starting point, we will explore the best of nature writing--poetry, fiction, and essays--to create empathy and affection for the natural world. We will also explore concepts in environmental sustainability that pertain to our deep-seated human need for what the natural world provides for us, and reckon with our drive to master nature instead of living within it, as one species among many.
