Wild + Rooted: Half-Day Nature School

Service Description

Wild + Rooted is a half-day nature program where children are given the time and space to explore, play, create, discover and build a meaningful relationship with the natural world. Nature itself becomes our teacher. Across the changing seasons, children will learn directly from the land around them — following their curiosity, exploring what is growing and living around them, developing practical outdoor skills and experiencing the natural world with their own hands. Our afternoons are intentionally spacious and pressure-free. There is time for guided experiences and hands-on learning, but also time to wander, play, build, investigate, get dirty, work together and simply see where curiosity leads. WHAT WE’LL EXPLORE Each week will offer a different mix of experiences. Nature Exploration & Discovery: Seasons, weather, plants, trees, soil, insects, wildlife, animal tracks and signs, ecosystems, growing and gardening, and the ever-changing landscape around us. Outdoor Skills: Gentle introductions to skills such as knot tying, shelter building, fire building, outdoor cooking, navigation, foraging and other practical ways of becoming more comfortable and capable outdoors. Creating & Building: Nature art, working with natural materials, building, making, experimenting, problem-solving and creating with what the land provides. Nature Connection & Play: Unstructured outdoor play, sensory exploration, mindful nature connection, movement, imagination, collaboration and plenty of time to explore. Wild + Rooted is a place for children to slow down, become curious about the world around them and experience the kind of learning that happens naturally when we give them the freedom to explore. To get outside. To get curious. To get dirty. To feel wild and rooted. Pre-booking required, spaces limited. All bookings are final, non-refundable.
