OAK Drop-off Program

Welcome to OAK (Outdoor Adventure Kids)

Participants will join our team of expert environmental educators in outdoor adventures such as natural dyeing, pond exploration, shelter building and more! OAK takes place almost entirely outdoors, where kids are encouraged to play, learn, and explore together in an environment where they take the lead! Come along and see what new and fun learning experiences we can get into together.
