Wild Exploration
Children spend time together exploring creeks, forests, and friendships. The days are a mixture of whole group activities and individual or small group exploration all with the support and guidance of our instructors. Students are encouraged to interact with the world around them as they build their abilities to thoughtfully observe, communicate, make connections, test ideas, and work with others.

Q: Will children be outside in all types of weather?
A: Yes! Please see below for the clothing list that we strongly recommend for the students. We do have a warm, dry indoor classroom space (with a restroom) that we use at different points throughout the day. If we determine the weather to be dangerous we will delay or cancel the session.
Q: Does The Adventure School provide meals or snacks?
A: No, please provide a snack, lunch and a child size water bottle for your child.
