AGES 11-15
Forest and nature school programs are a way for teens to connect with the Land within a positive, attachment-oriented community setting. Learn in a hands-on and experiential way in these place-based classes.
Our programs for ages 11-15 are co-created by teens and facilitators, incorporating project-based learning about local ecology, more in depth hands-on projects, and lots of time to connect with each other. We have a flexible flow of the day that allows us to adapt to the needs of the group, and we make sure that we have plenty of time for movement.
NEW FAMILY INFO SESSION

AGES 11-15
Our programs for ages 11-15 provide students with a nature-based learning opportunity in forest, garden, and community settings. Learning takes place one or two days a week in mixed-aged groups. Grounded in connection to place and community, these programs are emergent, playful, and built on collaboration with each other and the more-than-human world. We strive to honour and foster each child's emotional growth, attachment, and interests, working with the youth in our classes to co-create learning opportunities. Many of our activities focus on interdisciplinary project-based learning through naturalist skills, land stewardship, eco arts and traditional crafts, and community-building field trips and guest presenters. Families combine our program with their own school, home, and community-based learning.
Young people ages 13-15 are also encouraged to apply for our summer camp volunteer program.
