Learning academics is not enough to thrive as a human.
Humans need to learn additional skills to thrive in the 21st century including innovation, communication skills, emotional resilience, financial literacy, mind management, civics, confidence, discipline, cooperation, and physical health.
Nature is the best place to learn these skills.
In our 100% outdoor classroom learners are faced with real world challenges that they must overcome.
This builds emotional resilience, innovation, communication skills, cooperation, and confidence.
We introduce various topics and allow them plenty of space to create various ways to demonstrate their learning. Sometimes this will be a theatrical play, creating a tribe or nation, designing a lemonade stand business and selling their product, or building a shelter on a rainy day.
Children are capable. They THRIVE when given more control over their learning.
At ORA we create an environment where children thrive and become passionate about learning, growing, and contributing.
We make sure that the families in our school are the best fit for this unique program.
Our 10-year-old grandson has been attending Organic Roots Nature
Camps for the past two years – and he has loved every minute of it –
everything from nature hikes to food gathering/preparation, i.e, which
berries, roots are edible and which should be avoided. He’s also learned
about using what can be found in the woods to make their shelter.
In addition to learning so much about nature and how important it is to
preserve what we have, he has also developed friendships with the
other campers and has learned the importance of working together.
He is very excited about attending this summer and has even told his
school teacher about it. She, in turn, is interested in planning a school
field trip to Organic Roots Farm.
Organic Roots Farm Nature Camp is truly a wonderful, enlightening
experience for our children. They develop survival skills,
communication skills and mindfulness as they learn the importance of
taking care of the planet, being kind and helpful to one another.
