SUMMER PROGRAMMING

Join us for a summer of connection, exploration, and PLAY. Rain or shine, we will build, create, sing, laugh, get dirty, and problem-solve together. There will be opportunities to engage in collaborative and imaginative free nature play, and also to hone skills such as wood-carving, knot-tying, shelter-building, storytelling, map-making, and more. 

Our focus on relationship-building, calculated risk-taking, interest-led explorations, nature connection, and joy will nurture your child’s adventurous and wild spirit.

​

Details: 

• All sessions run 9am-1:30pm, Monday-Thursday. 

• All sessions will be located within 10 miles of town. Location will depend on weather and other factors, and will be decided shortly before each session.
