Available spots
Service Description
Designed for public school students with Fridays off or homeschoolers seeking an enriching day in nature, this program combines active exploration with thoughtful learning and creative expression. Children ages 6–11 will engage in hands-on, nature-based learning and play. Each week follows a consistent daily structure that helps children transition smoothly from one activity to the next, supporting their sense of routine. The day includes outdoor play, a read-aloud story and related lesson or experiment led by the instructor, games and time with our friendly pets (such as bearded dragons and tortoises), outdoor exploration, visits to Indian Gulley creek and Pine Forest woods, and STEM projects. Activities cover earth science topics like geology, weather, plants, and animals, along with nature-inspired art, bug hunting, excavating a “rock mountain,” pond fishing, tree climbing, and scavenger hunts. Ages: 6–11 Schedule: Fridays, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM Registration Fee: $25 (Non-refundable, due at signup) Tuition: $125 per month, paid on the first class day of each month (September, October, November, December) Enrollment: Open enrollment—register any time!

Cancellation Policy
No Refunds or Prorating: Classes will not be prorated, discounted, or refunded due to non-attendance. Tuition will not be refunded due to dissatisfaction with class structure, curriculum, teaching style, or content once the class has begun. Withdrawal Policy: Students may be withdrawn from the program at any time with proper notice, but tuition already paid for the current month will not be refunded—even if classes are missed. Parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring their child comes prepared with appropriate clothing and gear for outdoor play, including a change of clothes, towels, bug spray, sunscreen, hats, and weather-appropriate layers. Please be aware that children may get dirty or wet during activities. Behavior Expectations: Respectful behavior is expected of all students. If a child exhibits ongoing disruptive or unsafe behavior, a parent conference may be required. Outdoor Kids reserves the right to withdraw a student from the class if necessary for the safety and wellbeing of the group. No refunds will be issued in such cases. Weather Policy: Classes will be held in light rain or shine. In cases of severe weather, we may move under shelter, adjust the activity plan, or cancel and offer a make-up option when possible. Emergency Contact Info: Parents must provide up-to-date emergency contact information and notify us of any allergies, medical conditions, or special needs. All participating children must have a signed liability waiver on file. Waivers will be provided to parents on the first day of class and must be returned promptly. Outdoor Kids instructors will provide supervision and guidance during all activities; however, participation in outdoor play involves inherent risks, including encounters with wildlife or natural hazards. By enrolling, parents/guardians acknowledge these risks and agree that Outdoor Kids, its staff, and organizers are not liable for any injury, accident, or incident—including those resulting from children’s interaction with wildlife or natural elements. Families accept full responsibility and waive any right to pursue legal action related to such occurrences.
