TreeSchool Workshop

Adventures. Friendships. The joy of learning. Discover your “happy place” at Johnson Nature Center.

The best happy places are ones that are shared. In TreeSchool Workshop, caregivers will join students (ages 3-4) on their nature-based learning journey while learning themselves about the impacts of connecting children to the outdoors. Join us to build a toolkit of knowledge for how to adopt these practices in your everyday life. 

Each class will be fully outdoors and include a guided hike with experiences such as storytelling, crafts, topic-focused pursuits, and nature investigation. Weekly topics will inspire hands-on, exploratory experiences for children as well as learning opportunities for adults related to the benefits, how-to’s, and ideas for each topic area.
