Only a few spots left for 2024-2025

This program offers parents an opportunity to grab a few extra hours in the afternoon to get things done while their little ones get the chance to play, socialize and explore in a beautiful natural setting. 

Students can experience free play in a supervised outdoor setting. They can develop motor skills and confidence with slack line obstacle courses, cargo net climbing spaces and more! They will also get the opportunity to enjoy hands-on learning experiences. Examples include book making, science experiments, engineering projects, improv/ theatre classes, wilderness survival skills, pottery making, and much more. Our unique forest setting creates a safe wilderness adventure space for our community.

Your family is welcome to join us for up to 4 hours a day, as many days a week as needed.

Children learn through play and experience, and nature is dynamic and engaging, a perfect combination! Our outdoor classrooms offer a wealth of natural cycles and intriguing mysteries to keep kids engaged and connected to nature. Whether they are building core strength on our slackline courses or excavating a nature find, our campus provides a deeply engaging experience that simply cannot be found inside a building.

Your child will be taught foundational curriculum like letters, phonics, numbers, colors, shapes, and much more through experiential education techniques and open-ended play. 

We will guide your child through the process of identifying and building language around emotions to help create a “toolbox” of healthy emotional management techniques like breathing exercises, mindful moments, and conflict resolution.

We encourage our students to explore, climb, and dance in the rain. 

We create opportunities for artistic exploration, problem solving, and provide places for students to swing, climb, and learn how to navigate obstacles safely. On hot and rainy days children will play with water. They will come home dirty, tired, and happy.

 We love having parents on campus! Monthly parent lunches in the classroom give families the opportunity to meet each other and get to know our teachers. We are all about building community. Other events include Donuts with Grown-Ups, Fall, and Spring Festivals. 

Our Community Engagement (CE). parents’ group is a great way to volunteer for seasonal festivals and events as well as participate in weekend parent volunteer days. A great school is part of a great community and volunteer days are an opportunity for parents to build and create things for the classrooms. 

We also have a garden that parents can help plant and harvest!

We work hard to provide a safe and engaging environment. 

We mitigate biting bugs to the best of our ability by spraying our campus with organic bug repellant monthly. We encourage regular use of bug spray and sunscreen. 

When the weather becomes concerning, we have indoor classrooms where students play and learn while the lightning, extreme heat, or cold passes.
