IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We offer Seasonal Programs and Camps in SE Denver within the Cherry Creek Watershed. Our single skill is Regenerative Ecology and our seasonal classes move and migrate as all animals do depending on the season, day and current conditions.Each class and operation area are chosen in collaboration with families and local parks and recreation or open space agencies to assure regenerative stewardship of the land.Below is map of some of the places that we operate in: Cook Park, Wabash Trailhead, Bible Park, Hentzel Park, Jewell Wetlands Park & More. Contact us for details specific to each season.
We are currently offering:Home School Enrichment on Tuesdays
This class is entirely outdoors!Children will need a snack, a full change of clothes & extra layers, and plastic or reusable bags for messy clothes. Full day students will also need to pack a lunch!All children will need weather-appropriate layers of clothes for the day - Don't worry, once you enroll we will send you a full guide on dressing your child for adventure days, including some recommended items & shops. For a great guide to winter nature-play layers, check out this guide:
Please see our schedule on the page below!Also, feel free to read more about our teaching approach here!Each day we meet at our morning circle/gathering spot after drop off, and then head off for our 1st Adventure Learning Spot for the day. We have a break, and snack at around 10, and then transition to our 2nd Learning Spot for exploration. We have lunch at 12, and transition to (pick up for half day students) quiet reflection & mindfulness practices for full day students. We have Afternoon exploration from 2-3, and pick up from 3-3:30!We operate under compliance with Colorado state law and CDEC’s single-skill exemption. Our curriculum is designed to focus on specific weekly Regenerative Ecology single-skills related to a monthly theme that follows the seasons and rhythms of the Earth. Seasonal offerings build upon one another, allowing the school community to grow and strengthen.
We are a fully outdoor program, and we are out in rain, snow, mud, and sunshine!Our guides are trained to monitor the weather conditions throughout the day, and to keep close watch on children to monitor for their preparedness with appropriate gear safety, comfort, and engagement.If the weather is dangerous for the age group of the class to be outside for the duration of the class (as measured by the facility offering the program) [think: tornado watch, lightning storms, or severe winter storms] then we will bring all children into an emergency shelter, and ensure all children are safe. If extreme weather prevents activities, families will be contacted for pick up from the safest location. We will cancel / reschedule classes if we have advanced warning of severe weather before the daily gathering begins. And once you are signed up for classes, we send copies of our family handbooks, which include our detailed safety & weather protocols!
We want your kids to attend well, and to learn where they are safe! If your child is displaying signs of illness, or has a suspected exposure to CoVid-19, we ask that you let us know & we can work with you to reschedule or refund your class! We are a fully outdoor program, and we are out in rain, snow, mud, and sunshine!We will offer to reschedule any class cancelled due to unsafe weather. If you cannot make the class you initially signed up for, for any reason, please send us an email to see if you can reschedule for another date (space is not guaranteed).
Learn more at our Pay-What-You-Can page.Our goal is to increase accessibility to outdoor nature based programing and we follow the J.E.D.I principles described here in the Colorado Collective for Nature Based Early Education.
