Kroka is a wilderness expedition school for young people based on a year-round, organic farm in Marlow, NH. We believe that the consciousness and altruistic will can be brought forward through a living relationship with the natural world and by taking our places within the circle of community.We are committed to making our programs accessible for any student, regardless of ability to pay. Summer expeditions for ages 9-18 offer skills in rock climbing, caving, mountain biking, crafting, white water & open water paddling, and rites of passage.
At Kroka, students take responsibility for the work of daily
living. They gather firewood, draw water from the stream, and cook
on an open fire. Students learn to tell time by the sun and sleep
under the stars at night. Traveling at the pace of the natural
world connects students to the earth and gives them greater
awareness of their peers and themselves.
Rite of Passage and Empowerment through Adventure
Students experience quiet contemplation, nature observation,
and the exhilaration at the top of a rock face and through the
rushing rapids of a river. They learn to take risks, share what is
in their hearts in an evening circle around the fire, and deepen
relationships within their group. Students return home from their
Kroka experience with newfound confidence and maturity.
Absolutely the best experience in my life. I did the 2011 Vermont-New Hampshire Semester Program. The experience was everything you could expect and more. I wrote my college essay about my experience (I''m going to Colorado College). The Semester will challenge you in new and exciting ways and you will never be the same after it. The community we built was, and is, the strongest community I have ever experienced, and I except the strongest I ever will.
