Forest School: Tifton, GA

Forest School is all about discovery, confidence, and the kind of childhood magic that only the forest can teach. Each week, children will climb, explore, create, and learn through hands-on experiences — building real skills like problem solving, teamwork, resilience, and nature awareness.

From tracking woodland creatures to crafting with natural materials to gathering for stories under sunlit trees… this is where curiosity grows wild and learning feels like adventure.

Spots are now open for ages 2–16.

A 6-week program of forest-based learning designed for children who thrive outside the classroom.

Each session is led in our beautiful woodland setting, combining free exploration with skill-building invitations such as fire-lighting, shelter building, and pollinator projects.

Your child receives:
