Weekly Nature School provides an adventure in the forest every week during the school year to create deep nature connection and awareness. The small class size and majority of time spent in a small group environment supports high-quality interactions and programming customized to the group’s specific needs and interests.

Program Highlights 

  • Curiosity-led exploration outdoors with learning opportunities introduced naturally
  • Variety in games, stories, projects, songs, and challenges through weekly themes
  • Flexibility to account for the energy of the group and the season
  • Mentoring delivered by experienced instructors to support students developing problem-solving skills, self-sufficiency, and a deeper level of learning
  • High adult to student ratio and primarily small group adventures
  • Field trips to explore different ecosystems, habitats, and learning environments
  • Emphasis on emotional awareness, compassion, and gratitude
  • Advanced techniques and skills (including knife skills) developed through multiple approaches to key concepts
