Out of the classroom and into the forest! Kids ages 6–11 spend the afternoons exploring the forest, learning primitive skills, and creating nature-based art.Through play, art, earthskills, and mentorship, we create a space for kids to explore their curiosities, grow confident in their abilities, and deepen their connection to the natural world.
Forest Play: tree climbing, games, exploring
Nature-Based Art: weaving, journaling, photography, printmaking, wood carving
Earthskills: shelter making, fire building, plant and animal ID, knife safety and responsibility
Mentorship: small groups, supportive mentorship, and leadership skills
Activities may include but are not limited to:
Hiking and open forest play, shelter/fort making, building and tending fires, climbing trees, awareness games and skills, plant and animal ID, photography, journaling, knot tying, knife safety and responsibility, weaving, wood carving, storytelling, and whatever else the forest may share!
