Heartwood NATURE AFTERNOONS
AFTERNOON/Afterschool Nature PROGRAMS
GRADES K-8 • HEARTWOOD’s Bothin Campus in Fairfax
“When I got out of school as a kid, I would stop by home for a quick snack and then head outside to play in the forest with my friends. We’d play games, explore creeks, climb trees, trade things, pretend we were a tribe and most importantly stay out until our parents called us in for dinner.”
OUTDOOR PLAY AND NATURE CONNECTION
Our after school programs provide children with an essential sense of freedom and adventure. Their natural curiosities are gently guided into a deeper relationship to the world around them by experienced guides who balance instruction with play. Physically active and creatively inspired, Nature Afternoons are a great balance to the typical school day spent focused indoors.
With younger kids our programs are play based, hand on and engage all the senses.
With older kids we take their skills further, encouraging competence and social emotional growth as well as environmental stewardship through challenge and adventure.
This program includes our core curriculum.
Our school year programs are continuous programs that run from September through June. We encourage students to stay for the whole year, however we do have a policy that you can cancel with a 30 day notice.
