Excerpt from Documentary “Mother Nature’s Child”

A small group of high school students explore the wilderness of the eastern United States during a 6-month semester at Kroka Expeditions. Led by Kroka founder Misha Goldman, they discover peer connection, self-sufficiency, and themselves.

We have posted this video before. It is an excerpt from the remarkable documentary called “Mother Nature’s Child,” and this clip profiles a small expeditionary school in New Hampshire called Kroka Expeditions. The connections between and among this small community of adolescents is visceral and inspiring. Manzanita has two alumni from Kroka, and a third student is currently there.

As noted above, one of our beloved high school juniors, Rubey-Grace Carey (who also happens to be Ms. Jennifer’s daughter), is traveling to Ecuador as part of Kroka Expeditions, based out of New Hampshire. Watch this excerpt from the documentary “Mother Nature’s Child,” which featured this segment about Kroka’s Vermont Semester. You will get a strong sense of the deep community this program generates for participating youth. Enjoy!
