Our program is aligned with the seasons and location, and intended to foster a love of learning and a sense of belonging in our students. Each day, students have the option of participating in a variety of interdisciplinary learning experiences, including art, games, songs, communal snacks, ecology investigations, storytelling, and bushcraft.
Many activities are designed for all age groups to participate as one community. Other times, students rotate through a series of activities in small groups with students of similar ages (see below). This approach allows facilitators to better tailor activities to students' individual interests and goals based on their developmental stage.
Winter season: Thursdays, Jan 9 - Jan 30 (its a short season!)
Upcoming Spring dates: March 6 - May 22 (Spring Break April 24)
Times: 10am - 1pm

Our pricing plans are flexible. You can pay per class, monthly, or for the season. Each class is $50 or $180 for the month. Scholarships are available on a limited basis. Just ask!

Songs, observation, and hands-on activities are used to support children in engaging with their surrounding environment to learn about wild herbs, other plants, and animals during their life cycle.
Games inspired by our forest school and coaching experiences give students the opportunity to engage their full bodies, working on gross motor skills while practicing collaborative learning.
Bushcraft, arts, and storytelling bring students' imagination into play, allowing them to hone fine motor skills and forge a creative connection with nature.
