We think Earthkeepers is one of the most exciting environmental learning experiences in the world. Students come to our Earthkeepers Training Centre for 3 consecutive full days (or 5 half days in the summer) where they will visit Mama Nature's Munch Room, meet a "spec," and dig up a buried time capsule. They are rewarded for their tasks with special keys which open real locks on boxes that contain secret meanings about the true nature of E.M. The mysterious E.M. (pronounced "em") is the keeper of the keys, an unseen character who loves to share the marvels and mysteries of the natural world with others in special ways. The program and the excitement aren't over after this initial component; students must complete their training and earn their final keys back at home and school. As Earthkeepers, students will understand how life functions ecologically and know that they are both a part of our environmental problems and their solutions. Earthkeepers was designed by The Institute for Earth Education.

Starflower Experiences runs one of the few Accredited Earthkeepers sites in the world! In addition to this first level, we will offer Earthkeepers Level II training and we've had several youngsters go on to Level III training at an Earthkeepers Training Centre in western Pennsylvania. Earthkeepers and Apprentice Earthkeepers are invited to join us for Earth Explorers and Exploring Adventures during the year.
