Dogwood Class

The Dogwood Class invites young children to explore the outdoors with growing independence, imagination, and wonder. Daily adventures through forest trails, fields, and streams build strength, balance, and confidence as students climb, hike, and move through natural terrain.

Hands-on nature activities like journaling, wildcrafting, and seasonal art nurture fine motor skills and emerging academic curiosity. Children engage in playful games that heighten their senses and deepen connection to place. Social-emotional learning is woven throughout the day as we practice listening, sharing, problem-solving, and caring for one another in our close-knit outdoor community.
