Forest School Weekly Classes
Fall, 2025
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, 9-3
Would your child benefit from a day of forest school each week? We provide a child-centered environment of outdoor play and learning on ten acres of woodlands and fields. Our space is screen- and technology-free. Instead of toys, kids play with the elements of the natural world—rocks, wood, water, plants—as well as our collection of “loose parts”. At a relaxed pace we teach basic naturalist skills, outdoor cooking, gardening, and use of hand tools for building.
Many of our kids come here weekly for a “day-out”, with the full cooperation of their public school teachers. We also serve the homeschooling community.
Fall Session: 12 weeks from 9/9/25 through 12/12/25
9am - 3pm / Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays
Morning snack is included.
Cost for Fall Session (12 weeks):
Sliding scale: $700 - $850 for one day/week ( full 12 week session)
(This is $58 - $70 per class. We understand that times are hard, and we are not able to take childcare subsidies. Please pay what you can so that we can keep this program running and pay teachers fairly.)
