The Importance of

Problem Solving

There’s no skill more essential to our children’s future success than problem solving—no matter how you define success. It’s so important that the World Economic Forum identified complex problem solving as the #1 skill people will need to thrive in the future. That’s why problem-solving is one of the 8 core skills we help kids develop in the Tinkergarten program.

Early in life, children’s minds are flexible and hungry to make sense of the world, creating a drive to explore, uncover problems and test hypotheses. The kinds of experiences we offer our children and the way in which we support them help them turn their infinite capacity for wonder into strong, flexible problem solving skills. Our Problem Solving series is designed to strengthen a new problem-solving mindset each week—all through joyful outdoor play.

Creativity

Creativity is the ability to both imagine new ideas and bring them to life. Our lessons reinforce a set of core, creative mindsets and strategies.

Celebrate with Nature

We introduce five ways to connect to nature and boost joy:

Persistence

Persistence is the ability to stick with something, pushing through challenges and adapting to reach our goals, learn and grow.

Communication

Our fun Camp Tinkergarten theme is anchored by sweet rituals and weekly lessons designed to use purposeful, outdoor play to bolster kids' communication—that symphony of skills we use to take in, make sense of and express ideas.

Empathy

We'll help kids build strong roots in empathy, our human superpower. Kids learn to recognize emotions in themselves and others, explore taking another's perspective and discover fun, new ways to care for each other and the planet.

Wellness

This Fall, we focus on Wellness—that combination of physical, mental and emotional health kids need to thrive. Our curriculum will provide kids with irresistible invitations to play that ​​help kids develop language, strategies and habits that they can continue to use to build strong bodies, minds and hearts—all tools kids can use to be and stay well.

Sensory

Everything our kids learn is filtered through their senses, and each child has a unique sensory system. Our curriculum is designed to help each child strengthen and balance their senses in the great outdoors.
