We are hiring!
Wonder Roots is proud to bring TimberNook, a globally recognized nature-based curriculum, to families in Vermont. As the only authorized TimberNook provider in the Greater Burlington region—and one of only two in the state—we offer immersive, child-led experiences designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and nurture essential life skills.
TimberNook's innovative curriculum combined with Wonder Roots' supportive environment, experienced staff and local expertise are the reason so many families return year after year for a summer experience like no other.
TimberNook programs empower children to take healthy risks, work collaboratively, and think critically while using the outdoors as the third teacher. Our programs center around allowing children time and space in the natural world, where the role of the adult is to step-back and tune-in. As a result, we see transformative benefits such as children feeling empowered, capable & proud of their ability to: build & create, problem solve & communicate with others, and manage their day.
Due to the high demand of our summer camps, we have implemented an enrollment process that we hope will continue to nurture the relationships we have with current & past families while also welcoming new families. We will have enrollment "waves" scheduled for each of the following groups:
WAVE 1: Sunday January 25: 9:00 AM-- Current Families
WAVE 2: Saturday January 31: 9:00 AM-- Past Families (enrolled in programs during the last 1-2 years)
WAVE 3: February 7: 9:00 AM-- Email List Subscribers
General Enrollment: February 8: 9:00 AM-- Open to the public (no passcode needed)
Each enrollment wave will have a limited number of slots to access via passcode. If space fills up in your assigned wave, you will also gain access to subsequent waves and can attempt enrollment during that time. Enrollment space is not guaranteed.
If enrollment fills during wave 3, we will begin a waitlist.
Current & Past Families: If you attended a Wonder Roots Program (TimberNook summer camp, Forest Playgroup, Curiosity Connections or Afterschool Adventurers) in the last 1-2 years, we should have record of you in our system. Look out for an email from us. We will send you details (along with a few reminders!).
Email List Subscribers: Be on the lookout for an email from us with details. We’ll send out several emails so you don’t miss anything!
Not an email subscriber? Get on our list! Or, if you like living on the edge, you can take your chances and wait until General Enrollment opens on Feb. 8th.
All camps run 9-3pm and cost $375/child.
