Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on experiential learning in forest settings. This hands-on approach will engage children in a sensory-rich learning environment, promoting curiosity and a deeper understanding of the natural world. We welcome children Pre-K through 5th grade.

Program Fees:
Tuition is $55 a day. Our school year is broken into 9 week quarters. Families that are with us will always get first choice to roll into the next quarters. Payment will be due one month prior to the following 9 week quarter. First payment will be due on July 1st! If there is a weather or COVID related shutdown, you will be eligible for a make up day at camp. We do not offer refunds. You can see our full cancellation policy here.
We also have a one time $45 materials fee covers all necessary materials your student will use throughout the school year and is paid upon enrollment. These materials include, but are not limited to: project & art supplies, writing materials, science project materials, etc. We do NOT require parents to provide these materials for their student(s), so this fee covers the costs.
Musical Mondays
On Mondays we explore the sounds and vibrations around us! Maybe it’s the rustling of the leaves, the drip-drop of the rain; other days we’ll bring in musical guests to share their talents and give students an opportunity to let their curiosity lead them.
Tinkering Tuesdays
On Tuesdays, we offer all things tinkering. Whether your child is more interested in painting, designing sculptures, gardening - or they prefer building outdoor forts, want to learn to use tools, and have a more mechanical view of tinkering, Tuesdays are for expanding our (mathematical + scientific + creative) knowledge of building and creating.
Wonder-filled Wednesdays
On Wednesdays, we wander! Guided hikes through the forest as we focus on scientific hypothesis, tree identification, animal tracking, and so much more. Observation of the world around us, so our children know more about nature than they do about the newest device or social media update.
Thoughtful Thursdays
Thursdays are for social-emotional skill building, problem solving, and leadership. Guided activities meant to foster critical thinking and creative problem solving. Ex. How can we take care of the outdoor spaces we live and play? The majority of our group projects and long-term planning will happen on Thursday sessions (think school play or derby races!)
