Functional Roots

Join us for more summer fun! ☀️🌻🌱🐞

Check out the details of all of our summer programs - each built with intention, purpose and love around nature.

🌱The Little Adventurers themed 4-week series are a great option for inspiring creativity, joining your child in play, connecting with other families and open to multiple siblings.

☀️ Wild Wanderers preschool enrichment is great for your preschooler or soon-to-be preschooler to carry-over common concepts required for school but with the creativity and flexibility in nature with a certified teacher. Limited space available. Applications are required.

🌈 SEL-ebrate (Social Emotional Learning) Nature Camp is our only drop-off option for students entering kindergarten through second grade. Open to all children who love to explore nature on the beautiful campus indoors and outdoors ! The program design will help your child stay active, creative, problem solve, practice skills for regulation and social connections. You’ll also explore our mini-meal program, also immersed in the Wild Wanderers preschool enrichment for exposure to natural foods and gaining more food confidence. Facilitated by licensed OTs and educators. Limited space available. Applications are required.
