In this multi-age class we will explore in the woods, build with loose parts, make mud soup in the mud kitchen, read stories, cozy up by the campfire and make new friends. With an emphasis on whole child learning our educators will follow the children's lead in play based learning as they gain confidence and work on social skills and expand their outdoor skills and connection with the natural world.

Each day will be different based on what the kids are interested in doing.

Our classes are 100% outdoors with a large trappers tent with woodstove as a home base and for warming up on chilly days.
