The Wild Ones Forest School
What Is Forest School?
Forest School is a long-term, participant-led community that creates lasting, meaningful experiences for self, others, and nature by exploring and nurturing participants as well as the space.
We create the above by the following approach:
​
-
Focus on Well-being: We provide a safe space where participants are able to communicate their needs and feelings.
-
Co-create the Experience: Participants have agency over their play opportunities and experiences.
-
Nurture Development: We provide opportunities for the holistic experience of each participant, observing what is both nourishing and challenging for them. (Holistic development includes the Social, Physical, Intellectual, Communication, Emotional, and Spiritual)
-
Develop Community: We provide participants with time and space to build a community together and foster connections that go beyond the program.
-
Allow for Character and Connection: Participants are able to engage in meaningful connections and experiences that will have a life-long impact.
