Milkweed Forest School Day Camp | Kids Out and About Minneapolis/St. Paul

Milkweed Forest School Day Camp

At Milkweed Forest School, children learn through play, curiosity, and adventure in a nurturing outdoor environment. Together, we'll hike the woods, explore native prairies, read many stories, climb trees and enjoy the magic of screen-free, mixed age outdoor play. Forest School has been offering year-round programming to children ages 0-10 for four years with weekly gatherings rooted in folk arts, hiking, music, storytelling, and collaborative creative practice.

Here at Milkweed Day Camp, we will: 

 

Foster a deep connection with nature, as well as a sense of belonging in nature.

Weave warmth, reverence, and rhythm in our children’s learning experiences.

Build a diverse, inclusive community culture which is LGBTQ and BIPOC inclusive.

Engage with mixed-age participation which allows younger children to learn through observation while older children develop leadership and creative confidence within a supportive community setting.
