Join us weekly to have your child explore nature through their senses while building observation and reflection skills. Each session invites learners to look closely, listen carefully, notice textures, scents, and sounds, and record their discoveries in a nature journal through drawings, words, and simple prompts. The program encourages curiosity, mindfulness, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

Join the adventure and become a Junior Ranger! In this exciting outdoor class, kids will earn a new badge each week while exploring the wonders of nature. From learning about wildfires, trees, fishing, and water health to discovering how to stay safe around ticks and mosquitoes, every week brings a new hands-on adventure. Junior Rangers will also enjoy a special day camp-out at Lake Farm County Park and wrap up the class with a creative final project promoting a local park. This is the perfect class for young explorers who love the outdoors, want to learn cool new skills, and are ready to have fun becoming nature champions!

Learn all about our planet and how youth can be seeds of change. Each week we will engage with different elements of our local and global ecosystems, including learning about keeping our drinking water clean, our waste minimal, and our energy renewable. Campers will also meet with local experts and explore renewable energy infrastructure.
With 3 homeschoolers, we've tried a LOT of different programs and classes, but I've never felt so good about money spent as I have with this class. The amount he learned and grew passionate about is a dream. Ecological conservation is incredibly important to me to teach to my kids and I'm so grateful that you've developed a truly great program for imparting that knowledge, care, and wisdom. You seem to truly understand homeschoolers [and] have put the work in to provide a rich and deep educational experience.
