We are so excited to announce that this summer we will be offering day camps! 🌿 This season, we’re looking forward to giving children the chance to explore, create, and connect through hands-on outdoor experiences. Each camp is designed to foster curiosity, independence, and a love for nature in a supportive and engaging environment.

Spaces are limited and we expect spots to fill quickly, so registration is now open to secure your child’s place.

Registration links are attached to each camp infographic.

All camps are 4 days long from 10AM–2PM at Field and Forest Outdoor School’s private land just outside of Mohnton. This is a drop-off program, though volunteers are always welcome. All camps cost $200 per session.

Camps will run with a minimum of 6 campers. If the minimum enrollment is not met, all deposits will be fully returned. Please browse through each slide to see camp details. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions at [email protected]. 🌞🌲

Field & Forest Outdoor School is so excited to be putting down roots on our new land but we have a big next step ahead: building a structure to support our outdoor learning space.

We’re inviting our community to be part of this journey through our Sponsorship Opportunities:

🌱 Seed Starter — $50+
🌿 Sapling Tender — $100+
🥾 Trail Steward — $250+
🌳 Old Growth Guardian — $500+
🌲 Forest Sentinel — $1,000+

Every single contribution —no matter the size— helps us move closer to creating a meaningful, nature based educational space where children can explore, grow, and develop a lifelong connection to the natural world.

Your donation supports:
✨ Building our new learning structure
✨ Expanding hands on outdoor education
✨ Nurturing curiosity, confidence, and care for the earth

If you’re not able to donate, you can still make a huge impact by sharing this post or tagging a local business that may want to support community based education. We would love to partner with businesses who believe in investing in children and the future of our land.

Yes, it’s true! Field & Forest Outdoor School is officially putting down roots at our new home!

Having our own land to explore has been a dream since the very beginning and we’re so excited to see it come to life. This beautiful space is filled with native plants, various trees, a pond, and endless room for learning and exploring.

While it’s still a work in progress, we’ll be doing a soft launch during our summer camps and we can’t wait to welcome you to this special place.

We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community, the trials and tribulations that helped shape our journey, and our families who believed in us and our mission from the very beginning.

We are so excited for what’s ahead on this precious land! 💚

We are hiring! Our outdoor, secular homeschool enrichment program is seeking a grounded, respectful, and patient individual who loves working with children and feels at home in nature.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys supporting child-led learning, fostering curiosity, and spending meaningful time outdoors in all seasons.

This position requires you to:
• Be prepared to spend time outdoors in varied weather conditions (rain, cold, heat, and sunshine)
• Engage with children in a calm, respectful, and supportive manner
• Model patience, kindness, and clear boundaries
• Support learning through nature-based activities, exploration, and play
• Work collaboratively with staff, volunteers, and families

Schedule & Commitment:
• Mondays from 10:00 AM–3:00 PM
• Position runs through May, with potential to continue into the next school year

We’re looking for someone who:
• Truly enjoys working with children of mixed ages
• Has a deep appreciation for nature and outdoor learning
• Is attentive, present, and safety-minded
• Communicates clearly and respectfully
• Aligns with a secular, inclusive learning environment

Experience in outdoor education, homeschooling, forest school, or nature-based programs is a plus, but a genuine love for children and the natural world is essential. Pay based on experience.

If you feel called to support children’s growth through connection, curiosity, and time outdoors, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email [email protected] to inquire or with questions.
