YOUTH MENTORSHIP AND NATURE GUIDANCE with Caleb Peretz
Through one-on-one and small group sessions, I aim to guide students within the realms that I am most passionate about and experienced in. When I was in school I had a very difficult time with the conventional pedagogy models, which led me through a career experience of working with independent schools, education farms, land-based organizations, agricultural businesses, and non-profit summer camps.
Recently, I have worked as a farm teacher at a kinder through high school and am currently teaching math and science at a private outdoor academy. I aim to provide a space for relaxation, play, exploration, independence, interdependence and most importantly teach a sense of personal responsibility, including knowledge of healthy lifestyle and a purposeful meaning of land stewardship. This is accomplished by letting the student’s natural gifts and interests steer the direction we go. I love providing mentorship through casual conversation, land work, and academic tutoring.
nature therapy - tending cows / sheep / chickens - spiritual connection to land stewardship
regenerative agriculture - holistic grazing - nutrition - healthy habits - cooking
farming - gardening - beekeeping - music lessons (saxophone, drums, piano)
The program can be customized to meet specific needs, ages, interests, scheduling, finances, collaborations, and seasons. I take great care in my passion to guide the youth into building a brighter future. I wish for all humans to learn to be themselves and act freely from the heart.

““This is my first time doing a Farm Internship so I’m learning so much. I’ve been helping with the greenhouse routine, seeding and sending love. Broad-forking, hoeing, mulching beds and then planting into them; it’s the whole process. Watering constantly. What a great farm. It’s fun watching everything grow. I feel ready to start my own garden at home. I’m grateful for the experience. There are also tons of animals to interact with — sheep, cows, chickens, cats, dogs, ducks, bees… a friendly reminder to get out and chill. Love it here.””
