Sapling Woods Nature School

Sapling Woods Nature School is made up of parents, teachers, and community members who share a deep love for outdoor learning. Some of us have been on site for over 9 years; others joined more recently. But across the board, we’ve seen how much kids crave the outdoors. How running, climbing, and exploring in nature helps them burn off energy in a healthy way, leaving them calmer and more open to learning.

We’ve watched them become amazing communicators, teaming up with others in ways that fill us with pride. While it’s great that they’re picking up Spanish or diving into reading ahead of schedule, what really moves us is seeing them collaborate, express themselves, and stay curious about the world around them. Our beautiful campus is like a living classroom, where every tree and trail sparks new discoveries.

At the heart of it all are our seasoned teachers who are true guides in both nature and education. Together, we believe children grow best when they’re nurtured by the outdoors, encouraged to explore, and free to develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
