About Summer Forest Days

Summer Forest Days is an all-weather, outdoor enrichment program designed to encourage young children to grow socially, emotionally, and physically through interest-led play and natural exploration. Our schedule flows organically from what nature presents each day. Children can expect to explore nature by hiking, climbing, water play, observing birds and insects, building with rocks and natural materials, creating art with their discoveries, and letting their imaginations run wild!
