Our nature connection enrichment programs are designed to deepen your child’s engagement with the outdoors, spark curiosity, and build lasting skills through hands-on experiences. These programs complement our full-time elementary school and are open to a broader community of families seeking meaningful, nature-based learning outside the traditional classroom.

Whether after school, on weekend adventures, or during summer camps, students of all ages can explore the natural world in ways that inspire wonder, resilience, and stewardship.
