Forest Friday

Our Parent & Child Forest Friday program offers an introduction to the forest school program. Caregivers and their child(ren) come prepared for a morning in the forest with one of our outdoor educators. Parents/Grandparents etc. may join into the fun, or simply watch how the forest becomes an instrument in their children’s play. The outdoor educator will guide the children (and their adult!) through an exploration, but will stay true to our philosophy of following the children’s lead.  This program is designed for children ages 2-5 though older siblings may join their family on PA Days and babies in arms are always welcome.  Contact us if your child is younger than 2 and you think this program may be a good fit.
