Our programs
Learning that lives in the body.
Every program we offer is rooted in the same belief: that children learn best when they are outside, free to explore, and guided by educators who love the natural world as much as they do.

Our flagship program — a full season in the forest.
Forest & Nature School
Our Forest & Nature School is a multi-week immersive program for children aged 4–12. Each session runs through the full arc of a season, giving children the time they need to truly know a place — to watch it change, to build relationships with it, and to become part of it. Sessions run on Saturdays and Sundays, with AM, PM, and Full-Day options available, so families can choose what works best for them. Children are outdoors in all weather, guided by an experienced Forest & Nature School educator who follows their lead.

Weekend Programs
Our Weekend Programs are six-week seasonal blocks for children aged 4–12, running through the school year.

AM, PM, and Full-Day session options are planned, so families can choose what fits their schedule. Each session is shaped by the season, the weather, and what the children bring to it — child-led, nature-based, and rooted in genuine outdoor exploration.
- Six-week seasonal blocks — register for one block at a time
- Choose Saturday or Sunday — attend the same day each week
- AM, PM, and Full-Day session options planned
