Forest school for
the wild child
|
|
Camp Hinneah offers a campus amidst a forest, a vast forest with meadows, prairies, creeks, and rocks. We use our forest everyday: to learn, to imagine, to explore, to take risks. Forest school builds agency in children. It allows them to take ownership of their learning and encourages them to learn to trust themselves and their ideas. With every leap, swing, and splash, the freedom of the forest builds self-awareness, independence, and confidence as children evaluate the risks they are taking and discover the natural world around them...
