Adventures in the Wood (All ages welcome!)

Our mission is to create an affordable outdoor education community in the south suburbs for families with children ages 1-18 through child-led, nature-based, and imaginative play, and to foster a passion for plant and animal conservation through hands-on activities and volunteer work.

Setting the stage for our theatrical adventures into Aesop’s Fables beginning with The Tortoise & the Hare (feat. Spiderman rabbits, Rapunzel cheerleaders, & a rare sighting of a Mommy Saurus Rex!).

We are learning all about our surroundings, reading fables, learning all about our characters 🐢🐇, playing games, singing songs, & having fun frolicking around the beautiful scenery of our newly autumnal woods! 🍂🍃🍁

Drop by if you’re in the neighborhood

(& if you want to get your value out of your Halloween costumes 😆).

The first day of our summer session was so much fun! The kids set sail on the S.S. Fiddlesticks, learned to move like boats, rescued ducks, went on an important animal rescue mission where they learned fun facts about marine animals, and ended the day working a shift at their all-chocolate bakery! 🌊🚢

Throughout the summer we have lots of exciting things planned like keeping cool with water play, STEM activities, movment, music, and learning all about marine life 🐋 before we switch gears in the autumn!

Drop by if you’re in the neighborhood!
