& Nature Connection Programs
WELCOME TO OUR WTOT NATURE CONNECTION PROGRAM
Chickens, Bees, and Apple Trees
This outdoor program promotes hands-on exploration and learning in our beautiful fields and forest surrounding the WTOT farmhouse.
Developed by an Occupational Therapist, Chickens, Bees, and Apple Trees is a drop-off outdoor program for all children ages 3-8 (expanded age levels coming Fall 2024. Every Tuesday from 9am-1pm, we invite your child to experience nature through play and practical experiences. By building their nature connection, children will work on skills that benefit their body and mind, including social and emotional skills, cooperation and teamwork, all while producing confidence, compassion and community.
Your child will have the opportunity to participate in activities including, but not limited to: simple woodworking; gardening- from seed to harvest to table; foraging, cider pressing; fiber crafts/handwork; farm animal friend visits; and open-ended play opportunities in the fresh outdoor air.
Our Spring session begins April 2, 2024 and runs until June 11, 2024.
