The Nature School NC Forest School

The Nature School NC - Forest School

We love to learn outdoors! We are proud to say we are the first fully outdoor nature school (forest school) setting in the Rockfish area. We are passionate about being outside in nature and the positive benefits it can have on children. 

We recognize it is our privilege to live, work, and play in nature and believe we have a responsibility to teach others how to live in good relation to it and with others. We strive to teach children this and enjoy seeing little foot prints worn-in our paths and watching tiny hands harvest native plants from our gardens and play spaces. 

Being outdoors all year round helps the children see and feel the changes in the seasons, run and explore, build with sticks and make dens, jump in puddles, use their imagination and have fun! In an age where it sometimes feels that technology drives us, we want to encourage some wild play and learning.

We are currently situated at the grounds near RCK. We will spend the days outdoors and move around our trails. We have a lovely field to run around and play games in, lots of woodland to explore, a hidden pond and during the rainy season, tiny streams. Our program was created to be a place where children can feel a deep sense of belonging both in the natural world and in a community of people.
