“Mom, can I come back next Friday?”

— First time participant, 7 years old

Imagine your child spending the day frolicking through forests, fields, and gardens, embracing the rhythm and cycles of the seasons with curiosity and excitement. The crisp autumn air will enliven their senses, and they'll admire the changing colors of the sugar maples and the diversity of fruiting fungi.

Our PA Days are a chance for kids to connect with the living world, finding magic in moss-covered rocks and listening to the soundtrack of leaves rustling in the wind. They’ll get to track and observe how animals are preparing for winter hibernation, sparking a love for nature that lasts long after the day is done.

Activities & Exploration

Our day is thoughtfully designed to be a blend of structured activities and child-led exploration. We embrace curiosity as it unfolds, offering a variety of experiences that foster a deeper connection to nature:

Nature Crafting: From nature sculptures to weaving wreaths with grapevine, we use the gifts of the season to create beautiful projects.
Building Fires: Kids will learn essential fire safety and the patience it takes to cook a meal over an open flame, a truly rewarding skill.
Farm Fun: We'll visit our friendly hens, kittens, and cows, and even spend some time playing in the hayloft!
Nature Study: We'll track and observe animals getting ready for their winter hibernation, inspiring kids to further explore books about animals, plants, and birds.
