Join us for an open house to learn about full and half day forest school programs for children ages 4 - 14+ for next school year! Children are welcome at the open house. Staff will be in stations throughout campus so that you can explore, meet teachers, and ask questions. There is no formal presentation and you can arrive/depart anytime from 3:30 - 5:30. Most families want at least an hour to explore.

Attending an Open House is a great way to find out more about our NatureYear program and how to apply, along with learning about our unique campus and team of teacher naturalists.

RSVP for an open house HERE!

Children ages 4 - 14+ are invited to come together in a small community of children and Teacher Naturalists to explore, imagine, and learn on the farm and in the forest.

Both HOMESCHOOLED children and children ENROLLED IN PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SCHOOL are welcome. We can provide information on speaking to your child's school about missing one day per week of school to attend NatureYear. Working collaboratively with your child's school and considering the individual needs of each learner is essential!

NatureYear operates Monday - Friday and we have several groups each day.
