Our homeschool enrichment program runs year-round offering programs for new homeschoolers who want additional enrichment and outdoor learning for ongoing education. We offer opportunities and time on their own to explore their interest at their own developmental stage.  Our teachers bring their educational background outdoors and in nature where real wonder and a passion for learning inspires students for the rest of their learning journey. 

Our classes are ages 4.5 ( 5) - 7 as mixed-age play offers significant benefits for both younger and older children. Younger children learn and develop skills by observing older peers, while older children enhance their leadership and social skills by mentoring younger ones. This type of interaction enriches their play experiences and fosters important growth in early childhood.
