Ages 8–12 • Tuesdays and Thursdays (1 day option, when available)
Our River Group brings together curious children who love to learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences guided by caring, experienced educators.
Students develop confidence, practical skills, and lasting relationships through meaningful projects inspired by the seasons, the land, and the knowledge our educators are passionate about sharing. Throughout the year, learning may include woodworking, gardening, nature journaling, herbalism, wildcrafting, foraging, environmental stewardship, creative projects, mindfulness, and other experiences that encourage curiosity, resilience, and responsibility.
River is designed for children who enjoy learning by doing, asking thoughtful questions, working alongside others, and becoming active participants in a supportive learning community.
