Description

Spring 2025: February 24- May 23 with a break the week of April 14 for Rivercane Rendezvous, 12 programs day total


 

Turn away from your screens, and walk out into the forest to experience the magic of Spring with our experienced nature connection mentors.  After a long cold winter cooped up indoors, it's one of the great joys of the year to step back out into the forest and greet the world as it wakes up.

 

The vibrant green of new growth is the perfect backdrop for another season of adventures in the wild. We'll play games, go exploring, tell stories, learn new skills and connect with nature and community. It's an exciting time to be in the forest with new discoveries and learning each week.

Our core curriculum has been carefully crafted since 2011 to provide a progressive learning journey and comprehensive foundation in deeply relating to the natural world.  Through games, stories and exploration children learn:

Outdoor Safety and Awareness   •   Animal Tracking   •   Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants

Wilderness Survival Skills   •   Bird Language   •   Ancient Crafts

Ecology   •   Community   •   Self-Discovery, and much more
