Squirrels - Open
Wednesday 1:00 - 3:30
Ages 4-6
Number of children: 10
8 week Fall Session beginning September 9
​
Using the core routines as a guide, the Squirrels class use their growing bodies to discover new uses for tools, become more comfortable in the outdoor space, and grow in their own confidence of their abilities. Fire is explored and grounded in safety, with adult supervised skills introduced as appropriate. Ropes, kitchen tools, direction, cycles, time to explore the world around them - these are some of the themes of the Squirrels class.

Rabbits - Open
Thursday 9:00 - 12:00
Grades 1-3
Number of Children: 12
The Rabbits experience physical literacy through more physical movement (hills, distance) and nutritious movement (including climbing, balancing, agility and hanging). They become independent in their fire skills and delve into carving and creating with tools. Leading with their questions, the teachers help the children explore their interests with supporting materials, hands-on experience, guest experts and field trips.

Full Day Classes
Tuesday 9:00 - 3:00 (Ospreys)
Grades 3-5
​​
Tuesday 9:15 - 3:15 (Swift Foxes)
Grades 6-9
​
Wednesday 9:00 - 3:00 (Coyotes)
Grades 7-9
Number of Children: 12
The Ospreys take their skills to a whole new level through experiential learning and community building. Self-discovery is key to being in community, and the Ospreys stretch themselves to build their emotional intelligence and team skills. Ospreys, in nature, have adapted to being skilled in the sky, land and water, just like our Ospreys at Forest School; they are a blend of skills and ages. Carving and wood working, cooking with fire, problem solving through projects, hikes and winter travel - these activities foster both independence and reliance on each other. They use the skills and experience of the older children to nurture the same in the younger ones, and the creativity and inventiveness of the younger ones to inspire the older ones! The Ospreys learn to assess risks and trust their instincts, and of course, have a lot of fun!
​
The Swift Foxes are a blend of Osprey skills and Coyote nature. In the wild, they are extremely fast and capable, and highly curious. In Forest School, they are keen to connect to one another and lean on their peers, but also develop their own skills and get to know themselves better. We explore what our personal challenges are, and how these help and hinder us in our personal development. Doing this is a supportive, active, creative community builds in us the ability to grow and change and learn. Just like the natural world is doing.
​
Coyotes are all individuals: some are tricksters or teasers, some are more "adventuresome, curious, intrepid, shy, bold, bossy, wary, patient, persistent, easy going, tense, care-giving, more or less social or playful" - this class is for everyone! We will explore bush craft together, participating in activities that encourage personal growth and an awareness of the needs of others. Connecting with the natural world in these years is more important than ever, as the more these tweens and teens know themselves, the more confident they will become. Through adventure based learning and skills learned together, we will form a community that supports each other through adventures, supported risk taking and learned leadership skills.
