Wherever we are, this program is for outdoor loving families. We are outside most of the day all year round - quality gear/clothing is required.  Children should be familiar with being outside and wearing layers.  They are encouraged to listen to their own bodies and can remove and put on layers as needed. Rain pants are required in the fall, winter and spring months.

​

In most of our locations minimal shelter workspaces, such as a three sided classroom with stumps and a wood chip floor have been available, with fire or electric heater provided for extra warmth when needed.

 

Whether on the farm, in the forest, or on the playground, integrating nature and land stewardship is an integral part of program.  Children do daily chores, which is hard work, dirty, and smelly, but very rewarding. They get to shovel compost, harvest bounty, refill water containers, feed animals and wildlife, observe and respond to the land.  Our classes are based on seasonal activities and vary depending upon the season and what nature is providing.

 

Children get to experience the interconnectedness of living seasonally, respecting all living beings, and building a robust work ethic.
