Little Rangers Fall 2023

While our instructors prepare themes and materials to introduce children to the wonders of nature, our schedule flows organically from what our woodland environment presents each day. Outdoor nature play during Little Rangers develops observation skills, problem solving, logic and reasoning skills and encourages taking appropriate risks. Activities include creating secret habitats, making forest stew, observing critters in their natural environments, going on nature walks, singing, art and free play. 9/26 - 12/12/2023

Little Rangers classes will run with between 5 and 10 children.

Building on the approach of Little Rangers and Explore with Me, children will spend the afternoon exploring and playing in the woods, learning about nature’s interactions, the different ways people interact with nature, how to observe and use our senses, to identify trees, animals, birds, plants and seeds and basic outdoor skills such as map and compass reading. 9/26 - 12/12/2023

 Afternoon Adventurers classes will run with as few as 5 and as many as 12 children.
