Fall Afternoons
Fall is a season of Change. When your child joins us in the Forest for Fall Afternoons, they experience the magical change from Summer to Winter. At EaS, we emphasize that although we are going into a natural setting, in fact, we ARE Nature therefore, we change and grow. In addition, during the school year, when so much time is spent indoors, time spent in Nature is critical to developing sensory awareness, returning to equilibrium and enhancing our critical thinking development. It's also just plain FUN.

School Holiday Camps
At Earth and Sky Camp, we combine free play at Base Camp, a patch of the Forest we call home, with Adventure Walks to our favorite places in the Forest: Sleeping Giants, Dead Deer Valley, Big Teepee, Triple Twin Tree Valley, etc. The program is loosely-structured as a respite from organized group activities. We have craft materials, twine, yarn, buckets, digger shells, etc. and wonderful 'play facilitators' (counselors) on hand to support and inspire as needed. There is lots of emphasis on the lessons we can learn from Nature.
Earth and Sky School offers programs for
Campers, (ages 4 to 10)
