Field & Oak Wilderness Explorers- Winter Session
We’re excited to open enrollment for our first 6-Week Winter Semester of outdoor, child-led exploration on private land in the Sierra foothills.
This is a non-drop-off program where parents remain on site and children explore nature at their own pace through play, observation, and gentle guidance. Our program is child-led and parent-supported, with a strong focus on plants, animals, sensory exploration, and building empathy for the living world. Sessions are designed to be playful, respectful, and rooted in real ecology—where curiosity is encouraged and families learn together.
