Curriculum
"Learning is not the product of teaching, learning is the product of the activity of the learners."
- John Holt
At the heart of this curriculum is a simple belief: children learn best when they are connected to the natural world. Our nature-based program transforms core academic subjects into hands-on explorations of science, art, and discovery, inviting young learners to engage with the environment through curiosity and creativity. With thoughtfully designed lessons, step-by-step projects, and opportunities for both guided and independent exploration, this curriculum empowers parents, educators, and homeschool groups to nurture eco-consciousness, spark wonder, and inspire lifelong learning in the great outdoors.
