A space for children and families to build a relationship with Nature, themselves, and each other.
This therapeutic learning experience offers an opportunity for children to actively awaken their senses through play, meaningful movement and exploration.
Our programs are designed to support every type of learner ages 2-8 by preparing a natural environment filled with sensory-rich educational activities. Each program is a held space for inspirational discovery, healthy risk-taking, relationship building, mindful movement & fostering the joy of science, music, games, story, and creativity.
It is our hope that all of our participants will leave the time we share together with a renewed connection, stewardship, and lasting sense of awe to the beauty of the natural world and their own innate wisdom.
It is our mission to provide young children and families the opportunity to build these relationships to Nature and Self, so that they are reminded of our interconnectedness to all life and feel empowered to express their true selves.
