Description
We will be spending time playing, discovering new interpersonal skills, developing our imagination and physical capacities as well as exploring nature while we make new friends. Unstructured nature play is the name of the game here. We will explore the themes of art, survival, awareness and adventure while learning about relationships and the natural world. There is no more critical of a socioemotional developmental period and opportunity for youth at this age. Being outside sharing space and activity with peers of differing ages provides significant stimulation and developmental experiences.
The price you are paying for this class is less than previously published. Thanks to a generous contribution from Coyle Outside, who was awarded a grant from the Oregon Community Summer Grant Program, the registration fee for this program has been offset for Fall 2022 in order to expand access to all youth participating in outdoor programs in Corvallis.
Based on theories and practices associated with the Forest School movement to books like "Last Child in the Woods," we refer to our group euphemistically as "gang" in order to emphasize interdependence and promote an environment of socialization.
This program is for ages 2 to 5. With exceptions, minimum group size is 4 with 2 instructors. This is designed as a drop off/pick up program and excepations are made for families bringing 2 yr olds and on a case-by-case basis, in the interest of orienting new participants. Participants should be potty trained or nearly there.
Discounts and prorating available for early birds, latecomers and qualifying families. Please be in touch with Coyle Outside directly.
