These programs are a great way for preschoolers to be introduced to the programs. We will explore the land through lots of free play, art activities, dramatic play, building, collecting, hiking and exploring. As with all of our programs, children’s interests, questions and ideas guide what we do. Materials are available to support them as they build confidence, body awareness and relationships with others, and the land. Facilitators learn alongside the children.

In our Saplings programs, children spend their days building, creating, exploring and learning on the land. Although each program is different based on the children’s ideas and interests, common activities include survival skills, fort building, forest art, foraging, dramatic play activities, hiking, tracking, and flora and fauna identification. Facilitators play and learn alongside the children. Risky play is a big part of our programs, contributing to confidence, body awareness, problem solving and creative thinking skills.
