Immersion in Nature
The Wilderness Explorers spend the entire day outdoors exploring and immersing themselves in nature. Barring extreme weather, we will learn about nature, eat, play, “water and fertilize” trees, and carry everything they need for the day in their backpacks – rain, snow, and sun.
Challenges, Hikes, Outdoor Skills
Learners will complete challenges, hike, develop outdoor & survival skills, work together, build shelters, and become connected to our natural world and each other.
Observation & Documentation – Wonder & Discovery
Our experienced outdoor Guides use observation and documentation to plan outdoor programs that encourage active exploration, inquiry, independence, kindness & character building, choice, critical thinking & problem-solving, wonder, and discovery. Our days are loosely structured to allow space for the learners’ curiosity and interest to lead.
Love for the Outdoors – Stewardship-Minded Practices
Your child will explore as a group as well as have room to independently interact with our wonderful natural environment, alongside Guides who have a love for the outdoors that is highlighted by conservation and stewardship-minded practices.
Mix of Children
Learners will be a mix of children from the community who are homeschooled, attend public school, attend Acton Academy, or attend another private school.
