Sprouts Nature School is an experiential, child-centered and holistic outdoor education program for children in Madison, WI that teaches practical skills, as well as social and emotional learning, and connection to nature, in fun and creative ways.
Programs available include After School, Homeschool and full day camps over breaks and summer.
Knowing how to prepare food is an essential and often overlooked skill. Alternating between sweet and savory options, we will use local, organic, fresh, whole foods. Once the garden starts providing produce we will utilize that as much as possible. We will be cooking outdoors using both fire and camping stoves.
We use natural materials such as pressed flowers and leaves, clay, wax, and plant dyes for different art projects. Nature-based art helps develop a deeper appreciation for nature and foster creativity and mindfulness.
In addition to cooking, gardening and art we offer range of activities. From hiking to bug catching, pond dipping to shelter building. Exploration is a way to get a bit outside our comfort zone and get curious about the natural world.
We have Winter Programming available! Please reach out for the latest offerings at sproutsnatureschool.com/contact.
