Nature DayS for Ages 4½-6½
San Rafael, Fairfax & Petaluma
OUTDOOR SKILLS & NATURE AWARENESS
Come join our pack as we spend our day outdoors exploring the magic of nature, creating games and training our senses with kingfishers and foxes as our companions. We'll get to know the plants and animals of our extended backyard and make arts and crafts out of the natural treasures we find. We'll enter a timeless space of imaginative play, transforming into a tribe of hunters and gatherers. We'll track the elusive bobcats up their hillsides, hide where the rabbits hide, and rest where the deer sleep. It’s simple, wonderful, experience and play-based learning in some of the most gorgeous spots Marin has to offer.
This program includes our core curriculum.
Our school year programs are continuous programs that run from September through June. We encourage students to stay for the whole year, however we do have a policy that you can cancel with a 30 day notice.
What if the session I want is full?: Join the waitlist! Sometimes we’re able to expand capacity (and sometimes people cancel). If your spot in the waitlist opens, you’ll receive an email and then have a limited time reserved to register.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have you guiding our son and his fellow students. He has been very excited and proud to share stories from his adventures. ”
