Experience the Magic of Nature

Kick off the summer with our 6-week Summer I program, running from June to mid-July, designed to spark curiosity and a love for nature in children aged 2–6 (with a caregiver). Through outdoor exploration, sensory activities, and seasonal crafts, kids will build confidence, develop social skills, and connect with the natural world in a safe, screen-free environment.

Summer I Program

We offer a unique outdoor experience where children explore nature, build curiosity, and develop a love for the environment through sensory play, kid-friendly hikes, and fun activities. Our non-competitive, nurturing setting helps kids grow strong, curious, and healthy.
