Weekend Wanderers
We know there’s a lot going on during the week. That’s why we offer kids the chance to adventure out on weekends! Once a month, we explore forgotten areas of the forest, sing songs by the fire, play games that use all our senses, and more. By spending the entire day outside over three seasons, kids learn how to creatively solve problems and make the most of any situation.
Kids are split into three age groups:
- Coyote Pups (ages 4-6)
- Fiery Foxes (ages 7-9)
- Raccoons (ages 10-13)
They spend the mornings exploring the park within their age groups. In the afternoons, all ages come together to learn and practice new outdoor skills.
Participants learn:
- About a range of plants and animals that share our environment
- About edible and medicinal plant uses
- How to identify and manage risk
- Survival skills like fire-building, carving, and shelter-building
