Drop-In Play Sessions
Where little explorers get a taste of the forest magic.
1 hour Drop-In Open Play Sessions
These sessions are caregiver-and-me nature play experiences for ages 2–5, offering child-led exploration, connection, and a chance to experience our nature school community.
Whether they are concocting mud pies in the Mud Kitchen, building castles with logs in our Construction Zone, playing wild tunes in our Sound Garden, or just wandering through the forest observing the mushrooms and bugs, each session nurtures curiosity and connection- at your child’s pace.
