Welcome to our Summer Programs at Wild Child Nature Project

​

Our summer days are crafted to spark curiosity, encourage active participation, and share knowledge and stewardship about nature, while holding space for inquiry-driven adventures. 

​

Some of our days will include:

• Forest explorations, where children can learn to identify trees, plants, and wildlife, or simply enjoy the ecosystems they inhabit.

• Nature crafts, allowing children to express their creativity using materials found in nature, from leaf prints to stick sculptures.

• Stewardship projects, such as planting, maintaining and sampling from our Wild Child gardens.

• Building shelters, creating maps, ziplines and slack lines, all aimed at boosting confidence and independence.

• Stream wading and pond dipping, where we can get up close with aquatic life, learning about water ecosystems and the creatures that call them home.

• Mindfulness is woven into the fabric of our daily activities, encouraging children to connect deeply with the present moment.

​

Our low-ratio settings ensure each child experiences the essence of those quintessential, carefree summer days, but with a gentle structure that encourages discovery at their own relaxed pace. This creates a nurturing and welcoming environment for every young explorer.

 

As part of their daily adventure, we kindly remind parents that children will need to bring their own packed lunches, as well as bug spray and sunscreen, to ensure their comfort and safety while they immerse themselves in nature.

​

Our educator team will be made up of the familiar faces that greet your children each weekday morning through the year, as well as our returning summer educators.
