What Makes Us Unique

Not Your Average Nature Program

Most outdoor programs offer unstructured play time. We offer structured, progressive

education with clear learning objectives, STEM integration, and transparent parent

communication.

A Consistant Curriculum

Not just supervised outdoor play. Each

week has learning objectives, skill

development, and measurable outcomes.

Build Something Real

Every semester culminates in an

independent project. Kids propose,

plan, and build with real materials and

real tools.

Parents Stay Informed

Weekly emails with photos, what we

learned, and what's coming next. No

mystery box—you'll always be in the

loop.

"Incredible experience — my son didn’t want to come home! What stands out to me most is the lifelong friendships he made. When I asked him what he’d miss, he said: ‘the people.’ Warms my heart."
