Unstructured play in the wild awakens all of our senses, creating the ideal setting for healthy development & growth. At Old Growth Kids we believe in Nature and its incredible ability to foster endless learning opportunities. In allowing children the option to play and create a bond with their local forest in their early years, we create space for healthy cognitive, social & emotional, and physical development. OG Kids leave as earth-connected stewards who live a balanced lifestyle in harmony with themselves and this beautiful planet.

Some side effects from this style of learning include:

  • Self-Confidence

  • Improved Body-control

  • Behavioral Changes

  • Motivation to Protect the Land

  • Plant Identification + Uses

  • Respect for the Environment

  • Sense of Place
