EverWild LA

EverWild's Nature Immersion Program is developed using Forest School and Place-based learning philosophies. This part-time program provides enriching learning opportunities for children to connect with nature, themselves, and their community. A nature immersion program is a method of outdoor education, in which the students engage in natural spaces to dive into social, interpersonal, and physical skills that are highly applicable in our 21st century world.

EverWild's forest school model places emphasis on observation, natural inquiry, environmental stewardship and engagement with place as a source of strength, wisdom, and growth. The rhythm of our day presents a predictable and safe container for children to explore freely within. An emergent curriculum allows for children's curiosity, interests, and engagement with nature to lead the day. EverWild mentors model their own curiosity and engagement with nature while providing materials and tools to take these observations and inquiries to deeper discoveries. With the focus on what is showing up for us on the landscape, projects and activities organically coincide with place-based learning, ecological literacy, and the Next Generation Science Standards.

Classes can be found in Venice, Culver-West, Topanga Canyon, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita Valley and Pasadena/Glendale.
