Fern & Fir is a dynamic nature-based learning program that offers immersive outdoor education for children who thrive in hands-on, experiential environments. Designed for curious and capable kids, this forest school-style community blends outdoor learning, child-led exploration, and meaningful real-world challenges to foster confidence, creativity, and resilience. Students spend their days engaged in nature exploration, fire building, handcrafts, teamwork, and problem-solving activities that support social-emotional growth and whole-child development. Serving families seeking alternative education and outdoor school programs, Fern & Fir provides a supportive, adventure-filled environment where children build independence, leadership skills, and a lifelong connection to the natural world.
Afternoon nature sessions every Friday in Gladstone feature themed outdoor activities including animal tracking, nature chemistry with sun prints and eco-dyes, and camouflage games. Half-day program runs 12-2:30pm, perfect for younger children or families seeking shorter nature learning sessions. ABA-informed staff welcome neurodivergent children.
