Visit

There are spaces available in some classes for the current school year. We'd love you to join us!

We invite you to join us for a visit to the outdoor classroom spaces and meet teachers to decide if Discovery Wilderness School is a good fit for your family before you enroll. Be sure to sign up so we know to expect you, and can communicate in case of any changes or cancellations.
