Our 4 day per week School Age Homeschool Enrichment program offers an outdoor education setting for children ages 7-9 years old. Focused on project- based, experiential, emergent learning, this group dives deep into earth minded and child-led topics held by experienced elementary and outdoor educators, Mondays - Thursdays from 8:45AM - 3:00PM, at the Yellow Barn Farm.

At Folk Farm, we believe in the power of a holistic, land-based education that nurtures children's individuality and celebrates the beauty of learning in the natural world and within a community. This nature-based program is full of engaging hands-on activities, creating a curriculum that explores essential life skills through expeditionary learning modules while connecting with the cycles of Earth's rhythms, all in the beautiful outdoor classroom of an operating regenerative farm. Learning outdoors allows students to have space to find healthy channels for varying energies and impulses while they develop intrinsic motivation for learning and exploring the world, independently and with their peers. The outdoor classroom supports a more relaxed learning environment, and as a result, critical thinking and creativity become more accessible. Encouraging an understanding of leadership, students are given freedom to co-create activities and solve problems independently. This often looks like earth based arts and survival skills, supporting the farm by collecting eggs or other to-dos, plenty of movement, mindfulness practices, nature exploration, and inviting our voices to be heard through story and song!
