aboutus

Wild Spirits Forest & Nature School is a not-for profit organization situated in the beautiful Annapolis Valley. We are run by experienced outdoor educators and nature play facilitators. Our mandate is to get Children and their families outside and active in nature. We focus on play-based, place-based, child-led learning, as well as wisdom and teachings from the natural environment. 
 

We run our programs in a variety of locations around the Annapolis Valley, considering factors such as nature inspiration, safety, easy access, parking, and the opportunity for mutually beneficial partnerships. If you have a location idea or offer, please do get in touch! When you register for a program, you will receive detailed location information.

Pre School

This is the perfect program to help your child begin to explore the world around them. We focus on whole child development, providing an environment that supports the child’s mind, body and spirit. Our programs are child-led, play-based, place-based, inquiry-based and emergent learning! This means we always arrive with a well-rounded plan for each day but we happily respond to the lead of the children.

Children learn through play; it’s what they do best. We are there to support their inquisitive, exploratory ways.

After School

If we know one thing, it’s that time of day when kids need to move, play and be free.  We’re here to take the kids outside to run, jump, climb, build and explore (or sit reflectively beside the stream). We love that wild child energy and know how to direct it in developmentally positive ways.  Our trained facilitators know how to encourage positive risk taking, offer mentorship, catch and share stories, and be a steady, caring presence. 

Camps

What better way for kids to spend school breaks than fully immersed in nature, just like in the ‘old’ days!  Camps are a great way to get children back outside and rekindle that love of nature and the great outdoors!    Our camps are all outside in different locations.  We spend the day moving, playing, exploring and learning new skills.

We run camps for different age groups with varying outdoor play and learning themes.  We also partner with other camps and can provide content so get in touch if you’d like Wild Spirits to come to your camp. And check back soon for our summer camp line-up.
