“Kids need to be outside and have the freedom to explore the world around us and learn through hands-on experience and questioning.”

- Brandy Schell, Founder, Wildflowers Forest School

 Why Forest School?

Forest school, sometimes called outdoor or nature school, is an alternative way for children to learn through nature experience, creativity, play and self discovery.

Being outside in the forest is healthy. It fosters self-esteem, resilience, confidence, creativity and responsibility.

We want children to become adults that care for our planet so we facilitate programs to ensure that they know our earth and the world around them and develop a sense of connection to themselves, their community and the land.

We hope you choose to be part of our community and look forward to meeting you in the forest.
