Over the past decade, we’ve honed our unique approach to helping kids become healthy, curious, capable learners by exploring the outside world.
We have no walls. Creatures are our teachers, mud and sticks are our tools. Every lesson connects us to nature.
Each lesson is engineered to engage kids in play that they simply can’t refuse!
Kids learn best when they lead the way. We also help grownups support their child.
Our curriculum is designed to help kids develop a life skill each season. When kids complete a class they earn a one-of-a-kind, iron-on skill badge.
Jump in any time with either an in-person or on-demand class and start collecting all 8 badges.
Explore what kids will learn in our current and upcoming season.
This Fall, we focus on Wellness—that combination of physical and emotional health kids need to thrive. Our Body, Mind & Heart lessons will give kids chances to move their bodies, take risks, cultivate calm, connect with nature, and practice gratitude, joy and kindness.
You can choose to experience our outdoor curriculum as live, weekly classes in your neighborhood, or as on-demand lessons you can watch and do anytime, anywhere. Either way, it's the same collection of seasonal, expert-led, irresistibly fun lessons!
