We just wanted to say a big thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our child this week. We haven't seen him so passionate about an activity for so long and seeing him get excited about sharing his experiences and looking forward to the next day gave us so much joy as parents. Thank you for letting children be children and get dirty and explore and play and imagine. Even more so during this time of turmoil for the world.

Our Learning Philosophy
Forest Play programs are based on the cycles in nature and the life stages children naturally move through. Our programming is based on the the 8 Shields of the Coyote Mentoring Model (8shields.org and coyotesguide.com) and Forest Schools Models (https://childnature.ca/about-forest-and-nature-school/)
Coyote Mentoring is a unique blend of traditional knowledge from cultures around the world,
scientific research, connection mentoring research and is grounded in the rhythms of the natural world
With safety and building connection as our priorities, our programs run exclusively outdoors save for time spent inour heated canvas wall tent in winter.
