After School
Tuesdays and Thursdays
Come play, explore, create and get your hands dirty! We love nothing more than forts in the tree house and fresh hand foraged herbal teas to unwind after a busy day of school! Games, tree climbing, seed sowing, art in nature, and good old fashioned fun! Join the Wild Earth Wonder After School Club! We can work on spelling words, math facts, and reading upon request! It's more fun to learn together in community! I'll scoop kids on the front porch of CBES at dismissal. If you attend another school you can be dropped off at 2:40. Pick up is at 5:30. If it rains we bake or play and craft around the kithen table indoors.
What the parents have to say:
Thankful for Bridger and her Wild Earth Wonder afterschool program! My kiddo enjoys all the activities after school -- I arrive to find him playing soccer, feeding the animals, journaling, capturing the flag, baking bread, learning about nature, and many other endless activities. I absolutely LOVE that he is outside all afternoon and returns to be absolutely filthy from outdoor play. My momma heart loves that in an age where kids have more access to technology than ever, Wild Earth Wonder brings a grounding and a solid foundation of outdoor play teaching the simple joys of life. Highly recommend! -S.O.
My son absolutely loves going to Mrs. Hahn’s after-school camp. It’s a place where he can truly be a kid - exploring, playing, and learning in the great outdoors. Mrs. Hahn has such a special way of encouraging curiosity and joy through hands-on activities and unstructured playtime. He comes home every day dirty, sweaty, and grinning from ear to ear, already asking when he gets to go back. As a mom, there is nothing better than knowing your child is happy, active, and thriving. This camp has been a gift to our family!
Digging in the Dirt
At Wild eARTh Wonder we will dig below the surface as we discover what lives beneath the soil. This ensures that what grows above the soil is healthy and nourishing. Wonder friends will learn what makes soil healthy and rich for abundant harvests.
Global Awareness
Wonder friends will explore garden insects and birds. Where do they go in the winter? How far does a hummingbird or butterfly travel? Do bees live on all continents? Why are they so important to our planet?
Nature's Helpers
We will explore how all the creatures in the garden are necessary and need each other to thrive. There are many symbiotic relationships in nature. How does this work? Do the trees need us like we need them? What might look like a pest to us could be an invitation for another beneficial species to enter the ecosystem.
Cultivating the Earth
What does it mean to cultivate a space? The Earth needs cultivating much like our minds need cultivating. How are we related to the soil we grow our food in? Do we want clean, healthy soil just like we want clear and healthy minds? How do we achieve optimum growing conditions for ourselves and our plants?
Garden Guests and Pests
We will learn and explore how to invite in beneficial garden guests and how to deter garden pests. Setting boundaries is an important part of gardening. Wonder friends will learn how to apply boundary setting to their everyday lives. Who do we welcome in, and how do we gently encourage unwanted guests to leave.
Sowing Seeds and Harvesting
Wonder friends will learn when and how to sow seeds. We will use the seasons as our planting and growing guides. What we plant in one season, we harvest in another. Planning and tuning into the cycles of nature will be our guiding compass.
