Get a sneak peek of our popular nature-based afterschool program! Explorer students have the opportunity to try a variety of activities focused on building a deep and meaningful connection to nature. Our core activities include hiking, wilderness skills, animal interaction, wild tending, homesteading skills, cooking, nature-based crafts, and seasonal gardening. Ample time is given to exploration, observation, unstructured nature play, and games as well. Each session has a theme, and all activities align with seasonal and ecological changes on the ranch and our surrounding natural landscape. Full Day and Multi-Day (Morning and Afternoon) options involve a fully immersive program with more exploration and more in depth curriculum. Students in the program are: Ready to be outside in all weather conditions and get dirty Able to listen to verbal directions in an outdoor environment Willing to participate in group activities Able to focus on a project for 20-30 minutes Able to hike minimum one mile with a full backpack
