Daily Rhythm
The Structure of the day is very flexible at Afterschool as we have a lot of children coming from public school and need an outbreath of freedom and exploration.
The general schedule is something like this:
-
3pm- Arrival and Free play as well as tag games and other animal games in the meadow and woods.
-
3:45pm- Head into woods camp, cut wood, collect wood, build a fire, sing some songs and eat snack around the fire.
-
4:15pm- Activity Options which could include:
-
crafts by the fire such as carving,
-
Play running/sneaking games,
-
hike or adventure to a cool spot like the pond or upstream and explore there,
-
"adventure village" where they have characters in a fantasy world and trade things they've crafted or found.
-
-
5:15pm- Gather belongings and head out.
-
5:30pm- Pick up.
What an amazing program you run! The Forest School was instrumental in my son's mental health during COVID and he looked forward to each session this year. I appreciate and am grateful for all who are involved in making Forest School happen.
