About Foragers

Foragers Nature Coaching is a nature-based coaching and educational consulting organization rooted in Squamish, BC. We support families, kids, educators, and schools in building deep connections with nature, themselves, and their communities through holistic coaching, curriculum development, and transformative learning experiences.

Our Core Values
🌿 Earth Stewardship – Honoring and protecting the natural world.
🧠 Self-Awareness & Growth – Nurturing resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.
🤝 Community & Connection – Building relationships grounded in shared values and nature-based experiences.

​

Our Approach
We combine wilderness skills, storytelling, and modern coaching techniques to create a holistic learning experience. Our programs start with sensory awareness and nature games, then grow into advanced skills like plant identification, shelter building, and navigation. The deepest skill we teach? The lifelong connection to nature and oneself.
