Kinder Forest

Whether you homeschool or attend formal school, this program is a great fit for kindergarten age explorers! In addition to exploring the forest through story, song and play, we’ll introduce outdoor skills like fire starting, shelter building and tool use. We’ll take children’s inquiries about the natural world deeper and encourage them to work together, experiment and wonder to answer their questions. Maximum group size of 10, 1:5 ratio of facilitator to children.

Forest Kids

Ages 6-9 years

This group is for children who homeschool or as a supplement to formal schooling. Building on our Kinder Forest program, this longer program gives us time to explore further and dive deeper into an understanding and connection to the forest.  Expect games, experiments, tools and outdoor skill building (and of course, lots of play!) as we expand on interests and questions arising from participants.

 Maximum group size of 10, 1:5 ratio of facilitators to children.

​

Wednesdays

9:45am - 12:45 pm

Please consider the following to determine if forest school is a good fit for your family:

  • Children will spend the entire program outdoors

  • Participants must provide their own snacks and lunches

  • You will need to ensure they are dressed appropriately for all weather conditions. 

  • We will be walking moderate distances (~500m) and may do activities that are physically      demanding for a child such as climbing small hills, building forts, walking through the woods etc.

  • Healthy risk is an important part of our program and falls, bumps, bruises and scratches are all possible with outdoor play. Our approach to managing these risks can be found in our Parent Handbook.

If you are hesitant about any of these considerations, please contact us and we can help you make a decision.
