“The best education does not happen at a desk, but rather engaged in everyday living – hands on, exploring, in active relationship with life.”
-Vince Gowman
Who We Are
We believe that building a love of learning through interest-led activities and play is paramount to integrating new information. We don’t just memorize facts, we build interest and passion and learn to apply that to the real world.
Our classrooms have no walls & allow for endless possibilities of natural interests to blossom. We believe students need exposure to a multitude of sensory input, nature-inspire learning opportunities & wilderness skills.
We believe in the power of mixed-age learning, allowing for real-world relationship-building to occur. We believe kids naturally seek opportunities to mentor and be mentored and that this skill is transferred into adulthood.
What We Do
We are a mixed-age outdoor learning environment for kids aged 5-12.
We are the only Treasure Valley, Idaho outdoor school/co-op hybrid, allowing for parents to participate as helpers without the full load of teaching OR the ability to drop off their students.
We provide a learning environment rich in interest-based activities, nature-inspired lessons & wilderness skill-building that is useful in real life.
