Program Design

Coulee Critters Forest & Nature school is an entirely outdoor, nature-based program for children ages 3-10 yrs where the premise for the day-to-day activities is play and exploration. The program is play-based, child-led, and experiential. Children will be given time and space to develop their interests, skills and understanding through valuable unstructured, free play. This 3 hour program is designed to provide children with opportunities to build an on-going relationship with the land, to a dedicated educator, to one another, and to themselves through regular and repeated access to the same natural space.
