Description

Living in an unharried, natural way that’s harmonious with their and the group’s needs? In the last few weeks, we’ve: -Worked through simple and complex social issues presented by group members and neighbors, -Watched Wildcat Creek fill with muddy, rushing water, then turn into a clear, lower stream, -Kept an eye out for migrating and breeding newts, -Sat still as grazing cows edged ever closer to us, and watched calves suckle from their mothers’ teats, -Learned about Fall by living it: surrounded by leaves falling with the breeze, crunching underfoot, and being exposed to a multitude of colors and textures, -Been learning how to budget based on using a shared camera for documentation but needing to conserve photo and video space and battery life, -Hiked to new areas, -And lived a rich experience not possible within a traditional classroom. We are striving toward a more sustainable future! Enrollment is open for Outside School: -Current school year, -2022 - 2023 school year, -2022 summer camp (2 spots remaining). We’d love to have your kid(s) join us! We’re 100% outdoors in beautiful Alvarado Park/Wildcat Canyon in Richmond, an urban wildland located just off Highway 80 and San Pablo Dam Road in the East Bay Hills. Children in elementary, middle, and high school are welcome! 9:00 - 3:00 -Tuesday through Thursday for school year, -Monday through Friday for camp.
