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.

A: No, please provide a snack, lunch and a child size water bottle for your child.
