Nature Stay and Play
Come explore, play, and connect with your little one in nature! Our Nature Stay and Play class is a hands-on outdoor experience designed for children 1.5-8 years old. As they progress through the program, children develop a strong foundation in 8 essential skills that kids need to be creative, caring and confident people who can thrive in a dynamic world. Kids who participate get the physical and mental benefits of increased time outdoors and build a lasting connection to nature.
Winter Persistence 2026
This session, we’re focusing on persistence! Persistence is being able to stick with it and push through challenges to reach a goal, learn, and grow. Babies are naturally persistent, and we can help kids remain so as they grow if we let them lead and take on challenges, getting chances to learn from both success and failure.
Each lesson is designed to support a different aspect of persistence, inspired by the unique survival powers of a different “animal superhero.” The eight core lessons are organized into three units:
Survivors and Thrivers: Play like amazing animals who survive the winter.
Hard Workers: Play like creatures who thrive through effort and repetition.
Clever Creators: Play like creatures who build and create.
