Life & Survival Skills

Join us in the forest where we dive deep into nature's wisdom and uncover the secrets of life and survival! Get your kids ready for whatever the future throws at them, all while having a blast with friends!

Coming Spring 2025, this unique Afterschool Program, provides a magical woodland playground for kids to explore in our beloved Fern Gully Forest. Just one block from ORLA, the Olympia Regional Learning Academy, off Boulevard and 15th Ave SE. We can pick up from ORLA and walk together to the forest!

We help children build essential skills to be successful in school and life through awareness and mindfulness practices, as well as campfire stories, wildcrafting, medicine making and so much more! Info below.

Experience Nature's Medicine & Wonders

In addition to mindfulness activities and experiential learning through observation and exploration, kids develop friendships and collaborative innovation with team-building games. They learn important life and survival skills, such as:

Wild Harvesting & Medicine Making
Shelter & Fire Building
Plant & Animal Identification
Homesteading Skills
Gardening & Food Preservation

Kids cultivate a sense of belonging in nature, confidence, courage, strong character and resilience, kindness, friendships, collaborative innovation, critical thinking, problem solving skills, and much more!
