🌿 Little Voyagers Ages: 3-5 (Full semester registration only) 

A Two-Hour Drop-Off Outdoor Preschool Experience at Adventure Acres

Our Little Voyagers program invites young learners to spend their mornings exploring, creating, and growing through nature-based play. Designed as a two-hour drop-off experience, this class feels like an outdoor preschool. where curiosity leads the way and every day brings a new adventure.

Children begin their morning with open play in our outdoor learning space, where they can dig, build, imagine, and connect with friends. From there, we gather together to explore the week’s theme through engaging hands-on projects, from nature crafts and S.T.E.M activities to storytelling and sensory play. After a cozy snack and story time, we set off into the woods for guided discovery and playful exploration.

Little Voyagers helps preschool-aged children strengthen both fine and gross motor skills, the building blocks for writing, cutting, balancing, and coordination. But more importantly, it nurtures confidence, curiosity, and a deep sense of connection with the natural world.

🌿 Nature Navigators 4-7 years old 

(Full semester registration only) A one-hour drop-off adventure at Adventure Acres

Welcome to Nature Navigators, where children step into a world filled with wonder, imagination, and discovery. Our drop-off program gives young explorers the chance to connect with the earth, build confidence, and learn through the beauty of unstructured outdoor play.

Each session begins in our open-air learning spaces, thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity. Children might mix, stack, pour, or create using natural materials, following their own ideas and imagination. From there, we wander the trails, climb over logs, search for tiny creatures, and explore the ever-changing forest around us.

We believe that dirt under fingernails and laughter in the woods are signs of meaningful growth. Every muddy moment builds independence, resilience, and joy.

Through time in nature, children naturally strengthen problem-solving skills, focus, empathy, and self-confidence, lessons that last far beyond the forest.
