Forest Days Explore with Me is an all-weather outdoor enrichment program for children 12 - 36 months and their caregivers. This offering is designed to encourage young children, with the help of their parent or caregiver, to experience nature via circle time, walks, outdoor sensory play, songs and forest exploration.

Forest Days Little Rangers is an afternoon all-weather, outdoor preschool enrichment drop-off program children ages 3.5 through 5 years. 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.

Forest Days Afternoon Adventurers is an immersive outdoor education program for children in Kindergarten through 3rd grade. 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.

Our goal? To ignite a deeper curiosity for the natural world, introduce scientific thinking in a hands-on, joyful way, and foster a lifelong love of nature.
