Booking this course enrolls your child for 5 days a week, for 3 months: Monday - Thursday 8:30 - 3:30, Fridays 8:30 - 12:30 Summer Season of Learning is unique and involves acclimating to change, increasing our capacity for care, and finding ways to give back. Each week our classes will focus on a different Regenerative Ecology Skill and Awareness. Our early childhood Guides offer friendly care and attention while helping kids build confidence and connection. Children will move their bodies, wander and explore, take on responsibilities, practice fine motor skills, do hands-on projects, tell their own stories, make up songs, and play to their heart's content. All of our programs are a positive way for children to re-connect with nature and their relationship to it. We acknowledge children spend quite a bit of time inside, on screens, or focused on academic skills, and we offer a way for children to learn holistically - that is, with their whole selves. By collaboratively designing their days, children also learn vital relational and problem-solving skills, gain positive mental health strategies & mindfulness techniques, and create ways to find purpose and community in their own backyards. We operate under compliance with Colorado state law and CDEC’s single-skill exemption. Our curriculum is designed to focus on specific weekly 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. Classes are offered in seasonal sessions. This is an all-outdoors program with seasonal learning and activities that will include activities to quiet the mind, to learn how to tap into our inner knowing. Following a natural and relaxed pace of our day together are vital. Children will spend time in a mixed-age group, and a portion of the day in smaller groups according to age. Youth need to be dressed for the weather (on rainy days in full rain gear, on hotter days in sun protection, water-safe shoes, etc) for a full day of reconnecting to your wild side! Bring a lunch, snack and water bottle in a day pack. We can help find gear through a gear library if needed.
