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.
In light of Covid-19, we’re taking additional measures to ensure the health and safety of participants and staff. Please review the important information in the Outdoor School Caregiver Handbook before registering.
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
