Now is the time to register your child for a fun-filled outdoor program. We have multiple programs for children of all different ages.
Toasted marshmallows help warm our students from the inside out
Seedlings class is for children ages 1-4 along with their caregiver. Each week starts with a short, open-ended play period while everyone is arriving. After that we do some seasonal farm chores – feeding animals, watering in the garden, or anything else that our youngest friends can help with. After farm chores, we will enjoy a seasonally themed activity. Activities include meeting farm animals, walking in the woods, digging in the mud kitchen, tasting and smelling in the children’s garden, looking and listening at the wetland, and more! This is a great opportunity for both children and adults to get outside make new friends.
Kids play, splash, learn and explore our campus wetland.
Kids Unplugged gets your child (K-6) unplugged and outside, exploring nature, hiking, imagining, growing food, making friends, and having fun! Our activities follow the seasons and children have a choice of activities at each weekly class. Fall is for hiking in West Rock Park, harvesting and cooking from the farm, caring for farm animals, and playing in the woods! We will build forts, hold chickens, have campfires, play games, and make home made pizza. Winter is time for snowshoeing, building snow forts, following wild animal tracks in the snow, making maple syrup, cooking and baking in our teaching kitchen, and enjoying nature arts. Springtime brings baby farm animals, wildflowers, and gardens to be planted! We will dig in the dirt, wade in streams, play and hike in the woods, care for baby chickens, and make new friends!
Our Environmental Educators teach children about the natural world and the ecology of CT’s forests.
