TEEN PROGRAMS

Forest and nature school programs are a way for teens to connect with the Land within a positive, attachment-oriented community setting. Learn in a hands-on and experiential way in these place-based classes.

MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM

Join us for a new forest school program for middle-schoolers! Created for students aged 12-15, this independent class welcomes students from all educational pathways and programs, including those who attend school, homeschoolers, and online learners.*

Our facilitators Kate and Willoughby bring a relational approach to interdisciplinary project-based learning through naturalist skills, eco arts and traditional crafts, land stewardship, and more. Projects connect practice with theory through readings and conversations to support the students’ integration of hands-on skills with conceptual understanding; integrating language, math, systems thinking, science, the arts, history, cultural studies, and life skills. Grounded in connection to place and community, this program is emergent, playful, and built on collaboration with each other and the more-than-human world.

Vancouver (Everett Crowley Park): Wednesdays 10-3
