We are explorers, observers, climbers, and sliders. Thinkers, tinkerers, discoverers and nature lovers! Let’s marvel at the wonders that surround us in our natural world.

We are builders, ponderers, wonderers, and sharers. We come together to ground our minds and deepen our connections. Each day with organic opportunities for challenge, observation, discovery, and a sense of acceptance and belonging. This is where we flourish, together.
Our daily rhythm follows a gentle regular flow, taking the needs and interests of each member into account. We offer a co-op snack, campfire time, and bi-weekly activity offerings. Activities stem from a variety of topics including the pre-existing interests of the kids who are encouraged to share their passions with the group. Other topics may include foraging, survival skills, cooking on the fire, natural artistry & more.
