A 4 year old camper, told me from day one “No one wants to be my friend” then to see her leave camp with lots of confidence in herself socially, and plenty of friends to say goodbye to. It was great to see!

Preschool Openings

Our nature-based preschool has several openings for Fall enrollment. Monday - Thursday 8:30-noon.

From September through May, our students are active in the outdoors learning while playing, hiking, gardening, and visiting the animals at the farm. Play-based learning is fostered with blocks of time for our students to immerse in our many natural settings.
