Weekly Nature School provides an adventure in the forest every week during the school year to create deep nature connection and awareness.

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 (1:7) 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
