Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall: Since 1988 Ray and Nancy Reitze have operated Earthways Guided Canoe Trips and School of Wilderness Living. Their mission is “To teach people the ancient ways of living with the earth so they may hold a renewed perspective of love for all things and move forward with knowledge of both the past and present to freely choose their life’s purpose”. The school has an extensive schuedule including, study of wild medicinal plants and edibles, basket making, snowshoe lacing, and flint knapping and vision quests. Guided wilderness journeys on foot, snowshoes or by canoe through some of the most remote destinations in the Skowhegan area. Ray learned woods lore as a child from a Native American elder and is very passionate about all things wild. Primitive camp sites are also available on their property in Canaan. This is an exceptional way to get back to nature and learn as much about it as you will about yourself.
