We are an outdoor nature based homeschool co-op where nature is the content, student empowerment is the method, and learning is the outcome. We offer nature immersive learning for most age groups in a student-led & play-based, collaborative approach.

Our Program

Our program is designed to capture the interest of children and to connect them to the natural world all around. The courses we offer target life skills while cultivating life long characteristics in young students such as confidence, social skills, and resilience through interactions in nature and various animals on our farm. 

 

We recognize that ALL children are unique and we strive to meet our students where they are at in ways that will enhance and optimize their learning potential.

 

For some students, the brain's ability to form new connections and critical thinking skills is enhanced when they have freedom from rigid schedules.  The resulting reduced stress load has many positive effects in a child’s mental health and behavior. While others may benefit from environmental structure, consistency and routine, in order to acquire new knowledge.  In either case, we strive to empower each individual to recognize and discover their potential through exploration of nature, caring for and developing a relationship with animals and the world around us.

Dr. Stephen Porges Polyvagal Theory has expanded our view of the autonomic nervous system and the role of the vagus nerve in regulating the heart, facial expressions, digestion, and breath.  The Polyvagal Theory provides us an understanding of our body's neurological responses relate to regulating appropriate social, emotional, and communication behaviors.

The human-animal bond is essential to the health and wellbeing of both. This includes, among other things, emotional, psychological, and physical interactions of people, animals, and the environment.
