Forest Day ~ Flagship Program

September through June Weekly on Wednesdays 12:00pm-4:00pm Redmond, WA ages 8-12

This is a weekly program designed for children to become immersed in a community with their peers who come together each week to build on the skills and practices of nature connection.

A collective environment which allows children to form community through shared experiences and deepen connection with earth, self and each other.

We begin each Forest Day with an acknowledgement of gratitude for the natural world around us and everything that it provides. Children learn quickly and authentically to identify all of the things around them in which they are grateful for. This is a precious and important practice and a theme that is held throughout the day.

Students are taught how to safely use knives as tools for skills such as fire building, carving and crafting. There is a strong focus on community building through working together on shelter creating, fire building, cooperative nature games and conflict resolution.

This program is designed to  build self confidence and awareness in ourselves and nature.

Scholarship options available. Contact us for more info.
