Irvine Days (Ages 6-11)

Irvine Days

Ages 6-11

2026-2027

Registration for Winter and Spring classes opens in mid-November 2026. If you registered for the full year class you do not need to register for winter or spring classes.

Students in this full day, 6-hour class will explore the woods, meadows and waterways to learn through the seasons and play in nature’s classroom. Our daily destinations change as we combine outdoor education, nature awareness, and ancestral skills, nurturing our connection to the land. Topics may include:

• Naturalist knowledge of flora and fauna

• Fire building and outdoor cooking

• Nature arts, crafts, tools use

• STEM concepts and nature tinkering

• Foraging

• Storytelling

• Fort and shelter building

• Caring for the land and our spaces

• Leadership, social connection and fostering a culture of community

This mixed age class will allow for both whole group inquiry driven learning and small group work based on interest and experience with the help of three teacher guides. We pause for lunch and snack (brought from home).
