The world can be a better place if we focus on getting children outside-- encouraging movement, play and creative experiences in nature. Wonder Roots outdoor programs offer children and families opportunities to gain connections to each other & our natural world, spark curiosity, and learn new skills.
Our program sites are located in Hinesburg and South Burlington, Vermont with 3-5 acres of woods to explore.
Curiosity Connections (Ages 4-10)
Woodland Adventurers (Ages 7-13)
Wonder Roots forest programs are 100% outside and include plenty of time and space in our woodland setting where participants can increase confidence, creativity and community. Using emergent, inquiry-based curriculum practices, our programs allow for flexibility based on interest, seasonal changes and community need. With a careful and intentional balance of adult facilitated support, we aim to challenge children in new ways, fostering a sense of independence and a greater sense of self.
